State disability covers short term disabilities: from 6 to 12 months in duration. Only five states have such a program: CA, HI, NJ, NY, and RI.

Federal disability is also known as Social Security Disability. This is long term disability coverage, but you must be permanently disabled in order to collect.

If you are receiving benefits from any of these programs it may be considered income by a family court. This depends on your home state, and their family law statutes. The higher your income, the higher your support obligation.
