Are you or someone you know facing the challenge of juggling work and family obligations while also caring for a family member, a new child, or managing your own serious medical condition? The Commonwealth’s Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program provides temporary income replacement and job protections to eligible workers when they need it most. PFML is available to those who are welcoming a new child into their family, are struck by a serious illness or injury, need to take care of an ill or ailing relative, and for certain military considerations.
We'll talk about how you or your family member can take paid family leave for up to 26 weeks in a benefit year and how that can be structured to best meet your individual needs. In addition, we'll look at the benefits of taking leave and the positive impact it can have for you and your family. Please join us to learn more about this important program, including eligibility, benefits, and how to apply.
Prescott Community Center is delighted to co-host this FREE program with the Council of Aging and Groton Neighbors.
