Paid Family Leave

Employees may be eligible for partial wage replacement benefits
under the Paid Family Leave Act for up to a maximum of six weeks

for the following reasons:

• To bond with a new child after birth or placement for

adoption or foster care;
• To care for a serious health condition of an employee's child,

parent, parent‐in‐law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling,
spouse, or registered domestic partner.

The Paid Family Leave Act provides benefits based on past quarter

earnings for up to six weeks in a 12‐month period. The cost of the
insurance is fully paid by the employee. The 12‐month period
begins on the first day an employee submits a claim.

To be eligible for benefits, employees may be required to provide

medical and/or other information that supports a claim for time
off to bond with a new child or to care for a child, parent, spouse

or registered domestic partner with a serious health condition.

The employee is responsible for filing their claim for family leave
insurance benefits and other forms promptly and accurately with
the Employment Development Department. A claim form may be

obtained from the Employment Development Department by
telephone, letter, the Internet or in person. All eligibility and

benefit determinations are made by the Employment
Development Department.
