Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Department of Labor estimates that reimbursing certain employers that remitted premium contributions to the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Fund on or after January 1, 2025 and who received approval to substitute a private plan before January 1, 2026 will reduce revenue in the fund by $25.0 million in fiscal year 2025-26 and $30.0 million in fiscal year 2026-27.
This bill includes a one-time Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Fund allocation of $20,000 in fiscal year 2025-26 to the Department of Labor for the cost associated with calculating and refunding contributions paid by employers on or after January 1, 2025 and who received approval to substitute a private plan before January 1, 2026.
