Parental and Medical-related Leaves

Parental Leave

Parental Leave benefits provide two weeks of leave at 100% of pay, and another ten weeks of leave at the State maximum benefit of $1,170.64 per week in 2025. The benefit is available to any parent to bond with a newly-arrived child, whether through birth, adoption, foster care or surrogacy.

If you are a parent who gives birth, you are entitled to both a Personal Medical Leave and Parental Leave. These two leaves, combined, provide up to 26 weeks of paid leave, depending on your personal medical condition related to childbirth.

Medical-related Leaves

Leave benefits vary by type of leave. This chart shows benefits for medical-related leaves for you or for a family member.

If you need to take leave for your own serious health condition or injury, you can receive 100% of total compensation for up to 8 weeks of leave within any 12 month period. If your condition extends beyond that time, you can take up to another 12 weeks of leave at 67% of your total compensation up to the IRS limit. This limit is $350,000 in 2025.

If you need to take leave for a family member’s medical needs, you can receive 100% of total compensation for up to 2 weeks. If the need extends beyond that time, you can take up to another 10 weeks of leave at the State maximum benefit of $1,170.64 per week in 2025.

It’s important to note the maximum paid time off is 26 weeks within a 12-month period for any combination of personal medical and family leaves.
