Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee is scheduled to sign an extension on the state’s paid family leave program. This extension is facilitated through the Temporary Caregiver Insurance Program. The legislation stipulates that TCI’s wage replacement rates will increase by 10 percent to 70 percent starting in January 2027, and further rise to 75 percent in January 2028, from the current 60 percent. This increase will be facilitated by raising the payroll contribution cap and will not have an impact on the state’s budget. The ceremonial signing of the extension is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
