On April 9, 2022, the Maryland state legislature overrode Governor Hogan’s veto of Senate Bill 275, also known as the Time to Care Act of 2022 (the “Act”). With the enactment of the law, Maryland becomes the latest state to establish paid family and medical leave for employees. The Act creates a family and medical leave fund (the “Fund”) which provides temporary paid leave benefits to covered employees and participating self-employed individuals. The program will be administered by the state, and paid leave benefits will be made directly by the state to eligible individuals from the Fund.
Beginning January 1, 2025, paid leave under the Act will be available for:
Caring for a child during the first year after the child’s birth or after the placement of the child through adoption, foster care, or kinship care,
Caring for a family member with a serious health condition,
Attending to the covered individual’s own serious health condition that results in the individual being unable to perform the functions of the covered individual’s position.
Caring for a service member with a serious health condition resulting from military service who is a covered individual’s next of kin; and
Attending to a covered individual’s “qualifying exigency” (defined to include various events related to military deployment or matters resulting therefrom) arising out of the deployment of a service member who is a family member.
