You may have seen recent updates about IRS Revenue Ruling 2025-4 and its delayed implementation until 2027. We want to clarify that these new tax rules only apply to state-administered Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) programs. The IRS created this guidance to create consistency in how different states handle federal income and employment taxes for their state-run programs.
As your private insurance carrier, we want to assure you that these changes do not affect how we will manage tax treatment for your paid medical or family leave contributions and benefits. Our current tax handling procedures remain unchanged.
Maine*
Please ensure that all current employees receive the required Maine Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) Employee Written Notice. This notice explains the program’s benefits, job protection, health insurance rights, and how to file a claim. Employers must also provide the notice to all new hires within 30 days of their start date and should maintain records of how the notice was distributed.
If you need a copy of the notice or have any questions, please contact your sales representative for assistance.
Starting January 2028, Maryland will launch the FAMLI program, offering eligible workers up to 12 weeks of paid leave each year, with benefits of up to $1,000 per week. In some situations—such as having a serious health condition and welcoming a new child in the same year—individuals may qualify for up to 24 total weeks of leave.
