May spotlight: FAMLI wins national award for setting ‘a new standard’ for providers and patients
Colorado’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program has been named the nation’s 2025 Government Changemaker by Code for America. This prestigious award honors FAMLI for its transformative work in streamlining access to paid family and medical leave for Coloradans through its innovative user portal, My FAMLI+.
The annual recognition celebrates individuals or organizations that use human-centered design to improve their community’s quality of life. In their award announcement, Code for America cited My FAMLI+ for “rethinking paid leave processes around user needs instead of governmental requirements,” and setting “a new standard” in public service. Code for America also cited My FAMLI+’s ease-of-use, as well as its reduction of workload for businesses. Data highlighted by Code for America included:
-
97% of FAMLI claims are filed online, with 60% of those coming through mobile phones
- Claims take only 12 minutes to complete
-
47% of claims are decided automatically, helping workers make life plans quickly, and helping businesses continue running smoothly.

FAMLI update makes life easier for those taking intermittent claims
Good news for your patients taking intermittent FAMLI leaves. We’re updating our rules about job-protection rights for workers taking intermittent leaves, the choice for many dealing with unpredictable health conflicts.
The new rule clarifies that workers taking intermittent-leave claims can secure job protection while their claim is still active.
Colorado’s FAMLI law says that workers have the right to get their jobs back after taking a FAMLI leave, assuming they have been with their employer for at least 180 days before their leave begins.
The rule update takes effect in July.
