When new leave legislation goes into effect, insurance carriers need agile absence management solutions in order to adapt quickly. In this blog, you’ll gain insight on the recently released paid family leave program in Connecticut and how FINEOS will remain involved in the conversation.
On Tuesday, October 26, the Connecticut Paid Family & Medical Leave Authority posted a Notice of Intent to Revise its Employee Handbook and to Promulgate Policies Regarding the Administration of the CT Paid Leave Act (the “Policies”) to implement the provisions of the new CT PFMLA program. The CT Paid Family & Medical Leave Authority is accepting written comments on these documents through November 26, 2021.
The Policies cover a variety of topics surrounding the administration of CT PFMLA, including providing detailed information about:
- Definitions
- Employee and Employer Coverage
- Eligibility Determinations
- Termination of Coverage
- Furloughs and Shutdowns
- Contributions
- Benefit Calculation
- Calendar Year Calculation
- Minimum Increments of Leave
- Coordination and concurrency with other income
- Employees with Multiple jobs
- Claim Submission Process
- Employee and Employer Notices and Documentation
- Benefit Payment and Overpayment Procedures

- …and more
FINEOS will be reviewing and providing comments on the proposed policies. Information about providing comments can be found here.
