I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and was just wondering since my boyfriend and I are not married, will he be able to qualify for paid family leave if he pays into SDI?

He is the father

So the father of the baby will not be able to qualify for paid family leave, if we are not married? The only way he can qualify is if we get married?

I don't believe a "boyfriend" is considered part of a "family". You would have to jump over the ol' broomstick, then notify human resources that you are married, and to add him on.

If in US I have never heard a man qualifying for paid family leave especially through the government.

If SDI is your State Disability Insurance then he would need to be disabled. If it covers his children and his child is disabled he may get time off to care for the child. He won't have any way to prove it is his child so probably can't even if it covers his children. If your husband wanted to take time off to be with the baby he would be assumed to be the babies father but not your boyfriend. Otherwise every man who knew a pregnant woman would say he needed time off.

Generally to get Paternity Leave you have to be married.
Hey, shacking up is fun and as a single gal - I love it - but it is not a legal contract like marriage is, so it does not come with all the same benefits of marriage.

You need a social worker or pastoral counselling. Some pastors are fantastic with giving this kind of advice. Get involved with a spirit-filled (charismatic or Pentecostal) church and get some help or pay for a social worker.

I don't know if he would qualify for paid leave (that would be up to his employer), but he may qualify for FMLA. He would need to contact his HR department to find out.

Nope. WIthout you married he would have to prove, thru DNA that he is the father. It is just your word and that is not enough for benefits.

No. It would only apply to a spouse.
