Making Sense of the End-of-Year Benefits Legislation
On July 1, 2026, Maryland will begin their Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program. Contributions to the plan begin in July 2025. Maryland FAMLI will provide employees with up to 12 weeks of job protected leave and eligibility for up to $1,000 in wages per week. Beginning July 1, 2025, employers and employees will start to contribute toward the state FAMLI fund, with the exception of employers who elect a private plan. Employers who wish to implement a private plan will need state approval for such a plan. As such, proposed regulations have been issued to determine the proper course for an appeal of a private plan denial by the state.
FAMLI can be used for the birth of a child, one’s own or a family member’s serious health condition, or to make arrangements for a family member’s military deployment. To be eligible, an employee must have worked at least 680 hours in the four quarters preceding the leave in a Maryland-based position. Contribution rates depend on employer size. Employers with 15 or more employees will need to contribute 0.9% of covered wages, up to the social security cap, with 0.45% being withheld from employees. Employers with fewer than 15 employees will need to contribute 0.45% of covered wages, all of which can be withheld from the employee.
