Community organizations are here to help answer your questions, but they do not accept or deny applications.
Almost all Washington workers are eligible for up to 12-weeks of Paid and Family Medical Leave to welcome a new child. During your time off you can receive up to 90 percent of your weekly pay – a maximum of $1,206 a week – when you qualify.
You’ve earned this benefit by contributing a small amount from each paycheck. If you worked more than 820 (about 16 hours a week) during the past year, you are eligible whether you worked part-time, have more than one job, or are undocumented.
We’ll help you apply. And we make sure your information is always kept private.
