New implementation dates for FAMLI
Dear FAMLI Stakeholders,
We’re writing to ensure you know that the Maryland General Assembly passed a final bill to establish new implementation dates for Maryland’s paid family and medical leave insurance program:
- Payroll deductions will begin January 1, 2027
- Benefits will become available by January 3, 2028
The Governor is expected to sign the bill in the coming weeks, and MD Labor will begin updating our proposed regulations. We will share changes to the proposed regulations via this listserv and our website.
The Moore-Miller Administration understands the value that paid family and medical leave will offer to Maryland workers, families, and employers. The decision to extend the implementation timeline for this critical program was not made lightly, but it was the responsible path to take given the unprecedented level of uncertainty resulting from recent federal actions. We remain firmly committed to building a program that will support Marylanders for generations to come.
Thank you for your continued engagement.
-The FAMLI Team
