WA and CA - PF&ML are set up differently as in CA employees contribute to a joint pool for PFL, PML, DI, etc. which is CA SDI (State Disability Insurance) whereas in WA employees contribute directly to a dedicated PF&ML program of ESD.
Not sure, how much it matters....but in IRS Publication 525 (2022) under "Other compensation" mentions as follows .....
Other compensation.
Many other amounts
you receive as compensation for sickness or injury
aren't taxable. These include the following
amounts.
Compensatory damages you receive for
physical injury or physical sickness,
whether paid in a lump sum or in periodic
payments. See Court awards and damages
under Other Income, later.
Benefits you receive under an accident or
health insurance policy on which either you
paid the premiums or your employer paid
the premiums but you had to include them
in your income
Disability benefits you receive for loss of
income or earning capacity as a result of
injuries under a no-fault car insurance policy.
