New York State Paid Family Leave Report

Paid Family Leave (PFL) insurance carriers submit data five times per year, once for each quarter and a final annualized submission for the year that includes two months of run out into the subsequent year.

The data in the Paid Family Leave Report is collected by PFL insurance carriers from the Request for Paid Family Leave (Form PFL-1), which is completed by the employee requesting leave.

The data in the report is based on the annualized submissions only. The data does not include claims by employees of self-insured employers or claims related to COVID-19. For reporting purposes, DFS has cleaned and standardized the data where applicable. Obvious erroneous values have been amended or removed. Certain values, including race and ethnicity, are optional for employees to complete; values not submitted by the carriers are denoted as “missing” in the report. A small percentage of run out may come in after the two-month period. These claims, amounts, and durations are not included in this report. Covered Workers was calculated using premium per worker per week statistics.
