Rhode Island Temporary Caregiver Insurance (TCI)

Rhode Island became the third state to offer paid parental leave in 2013, following California and New Jersey. The law allows all RI employees to take up to 8 weeks of paid leave to bond with a newborn baby or care for a seriously ill family member.

Under RI’s Temporary Caregiver Insurance (TCI), eligible employees may receive up to 60% of their regular pay when on leave, up to $1,103 per week.
