Paid family and medical leave is coming to Maryland! Starting January 1, 2028, Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) will make it possible for eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of paid, job-protected leave. Employees will be able to welcome a new child, tend to a serious health condition, care for a loved one, or manage urgent family needs related to deployment—while still being paid up to $1,000 per week. 

FAMLI is an insurance program. Starting January 1, 2027, employers are responsible for withholding contributions that will be paid into a fund administered by the State. Up to half of the contributions can be withheld from employees via payroll deductions. Alternatively, employers may apply to use a private plan.  

All employers with at least one employee localized in Maryland are required to register with FAMLI. There are no exceptions under state law. 

Questions? Visit paidleave.maryland.gov or contact the FAMLI Customer Care team at (410) 525-4010 or [email protected]. 

We will add resources to this toolkit as they become available. Please check back periodically to find the information you need.
