Paid Family Leave Program Update

Courtesy of our EDD Partners


	June 23, 2020 Effective July 1, 2020, California's State Disability Insurance (SDI) program will extend the maximum duration of Paid Family Leave (PFL) benefits from six weeks to eight weeks within a 12-month period. This applies to PFL claims with a start date of July 1, 2020, or after. PFL allows your employees to take paid time off work to care for a seriously ill family member (child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered domestic partner) or to bond with a new child by birth, adoption, or foster care placement. The PFL program is employee funded through employee's payroll tax contributions and there are no direct costs to employers. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about PFL benefits, request a webinar presentation by contacting SDI at DIBOutreach@edd.ca.gov.
