Creates a national program for paid family and medical leave benefits for workers.
This bill would create a national paid family and medical leave program, run by the Social Security Administration. Eligible workers could get paid time off for their own serious health issues or to care for a wide range of family members. They could also use it for reasons related to violence. This changes the current situation where there is no federal paid leave program.
Today, there is no federal program for paid family and medical leave, though some states have their own. If this bill passes, the Social Security Administration would start a national program, allowing eligible individuals to receive wage replacement for various caregiving needs. Eligibility would require at least $2,000 in wages or self-employment income for benefit periods beginning in 2026. Monthly benefits could be up to $4,000 and a minimum of $580 in the first full year after the bill becomes law.
