California Paid Family Leave
Paid Family Leave (PFL) provides benefit payments to people who need to take time off work to:
Care for a seriously ill family member.
Bond with a new child.
Participate in a qualifying event because of a family member’s military deployment.
If eligible, you can receive benefit payments for up to eight weeks. Payments are about 60 to 70 percent of your weekly wages earned 5 to 18 months before your claim start date. You will receive payments by debit card or check — it’s your choice!
PFL provides benefit payments but not job protection. Your job may be protected by other laws, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act or the California Family Rights Act.
