Connecticut Paid Family and Medical Leave

In June 2019, Connecticut adopted a Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) Program. State premium collection begins January 1, 2021, and benefit payouts begin January 1, 2022. Connecticut’s program covers a variety of reasons for paid leave, including recovery time for an employee’s own medical condition, or caring for a family member. The program will also become one of the first in the nation to expand paid leave to organ and bone marrow donation.
