How pathetic am i?  With my back hurt i have not been able to do anything, so my mom, who has a cracked knee cap and has to wear a leg brace, comes over and does everything for me, i feel so ashamed, here i am 39 and stuck in bed. I HATE IT, HATE IT I SAY!!!!

what is the state disability did you work for a state? I understand the federal money but I never heard of the state paying also.......Boxman55

No.  I worked for a private company.   

Some states have short term disability insurance programs that all employers are required to participate in. 

Employees fund the programs through mandatory payroll deductions.  The more you make, the more you contribute to the plan.  Just like taxes.  The amount you've contributed determines how long and how much you are paid in benefits.

Why are they not taxable? 

Some are.   To receive nontaxable benefits, you have to have paid the premiums with post-tax dollars.
