2024 Tools & Tactics Webinar: Diving Deeper – Navigating Delaware’s PFML Regulations for Employers

Thursday, July 25
9:00 AM PT | 12:00 PM ET

Don’t miss out on this comprehensive exploration of the new Healthy Delaware Family Act. The January 1, 2025 funding date isn’t the first milestone to be working toward – the Delaware Paid Family and Medical Leave (DE PFML) insurance program opens doors for action as early as September 1, 2024, allowing organizations to enroll in the state program or apply for a private plan tax exemption. With these key dates looming right around the corner, it’s crucial for your organization to develop a well-prepared implementation strategy and gain a thorough understanding of its legal obligations.

During this session, participants will delve into the intricacies of Delaware’s paid family and medical leave program, which uniquely separates paid parental leave from other entitlements such as family caregiver, military exigency, and employee medical leaves. Gain insights into Delaware’s specific participation requirements that could impact your business’s compliance with the new state law, including coverage criteria and plan expenses. Explore Delaware’s approach to claim administration, its timeline considerations, and the crucial employer responsibilities needed to adhere to this legislation. For organizations with employees in Delaware, this deep dive is an invaluable resource not to be missed!

Learning Objectives

  • Explore the intricacies of the structure of the Delaware plan design and covered reasons for leave.
  • Learn more about Delaware’s unique participation requirements and your organization’s obligations under the law.
  • Gain insights into Delaware’s approach to claims administration, timing, and employer responsibilities.
