Starting in 2026, the Maryland Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) system will ensure workers are able to take time away from work to care for themselves or a family member while still receiving job protection and earning up to $1000 a week for up to 12 weeks. The FAMLI Team within the Maryland Department of Labor is working to build the FAMLI system ahead of the contribution start date on July 1, 2025 and when benefits become available on July 1, 2026. Join us to ask your questions and hear how FAMLI will work and what you can do now to prepare.
