Maryland’s Paid Family and Medical Leave (MD PFML) program is coming, with key milestones beginning in 2026 and benefits launching in 2028.

Join us for an overview of:

  • What employers need to know today, including program basics, eligibility, funding, and critical upcoming deadlines like the Declaration of Intent window and private plan application timeline.

  • A walkthrough of benefit calculations.

  • How MD PFML coordinates with other leave programs and STD coverage.

  • What to consider when evaluating state versus private plan options — including how Guardian supports implementation, administration, and compliance along the way.
