Massachusetts Paid Family Leave (PFL) Program
Massachusetts has passed one of the most generous Paid Family Leave law in the nation, joining a number of states that have launched paid leave programs in recent years, including New York, California, plus Washington, D.C.
Massachusetts offers up to 12 weeks, of paid family leave in a year or up to 20 weeks for those with serious health condition, with a maximum of 26 weeks of combined family and medical leave in a single benefit year.
While on leave, you will receive 80% of your average weekly wages up to one-half of the state’s average weekly wage — capped at $1,230 per week.
If you work in Massachusetts and need to take Paid Family and Medical Leave, file your claim online through paidleave.mass.gov .
