Paid Family Leave (PFL) is a program funded by employee payroll deductions that provides short-term benefits to eligible workers who need time off work to care for a seriously ill family member or to bond with a new child. The program was established to help families balance the demands of work and home by allowing them to take time off from their jobs with some level of income replacement.

To be eligible for Paid Family Leave (PFL), you must be unable to work because you are bonding with a new child or caring for a seriously ill family member. Additionally, you must have had at least $300 in subject wages during your base period and you must have paid into the State Disability Insurance (SDI) fund.

The maximum benefit period for Paid Family Leave (PFL) is typically 8 weeks within a 12-month period. The amount of benefits you receive through the program is generally about 60-70% of your usual weekly earnings, depending on your income level and other factors.

If you opt to apply online, you will need to sign into your Benefit Programs Online (BPO) account and complete the application.
