What is the Family Leave Insurance law?

The program, administered by the Employment Security Department, was designed to provide up to $250 per week for up to five weeks to each eligible parent. However, due to the budget shortfall in state government, the program was officially suspended and in 2009, the legislature delayed implementation of the program until October 1, 2012.

For more information please see the ESD Family Leave Insurance Web page.
