Creating the Regulations

Passing the Time to Care Act set the stage for the paid family and medical leave system in Maryland, but regulations are needed to set the details. Regulations are the rules for the system. We strive to make sure our policies, rules, and guidelines ​meet the needs of workers and employers in Maryland.​​​

Important note

The Maryland Department of Labor (MD Labor) rece​ntly proposed extending the timeline for implementation of the FAMLI program. 

Under the new recommended plan:

  • ​​payroll deductions would begin January 1, 2027
  • benefits would become available on January 1, 2028
This change will require legislative action by the G​eneral Assembly in the coming weeks and will require changes to the information presented on this site​.

In anticipation of the extended timeline, we will be pausing any announced regulatory timelines including the process for applying to use a private plan,  originally scheduled to begin in May 2025.​

In the meantime, we know you may have questions about how this will impact you.
