An important update regarding the Maryland Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) Program is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.

This program aims to provide financial support to Maryland workers who need time off for various family and medical reasons. Key highlights of the program include:

  • Eligible Reasons for Leave: Employees can take leave for personal health issues, to care for a family member, or for bonding with a new child.
  • Duration of Leave: Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of paid leave in a 12-month period.
  • Funding: The program will be funded through contributions from both employers and employees.  Contributions are set to begin on July 1, 2025. 

To help you better understand the program and its implications, Brooks Financial Group will be offering educational webinars in Q1 2026. Stay tuned for details on dates and registration information.
