Newly Adopted Rules are here!
Division of Family and Medical Leave Insurance
The FAMLI program will ensure all Colorado workers have access to paid leave insurance.
We recently published a new set of adopted rules. Get the full details of the newly adopted rules on our?rules page. When FAMLI benefits become available in 2024, Colorado employees who utilize paid leave to tend to their own health or support a family member will be protected from retaliation from employers. The?FAMLI rules regarding Job Protection, Anti-retaliation, and Anti-interference?give a lot of examples of what retaliation might look like, but it generally means that individuals cannot face punishment for using the benefits provided by the FAMLI program. Our?Program Integrity Rules?outline how the Division will manage overpayments in benefits or underpayments in premiums. In the?rules regarding Investigations, Determinations, and Appeals, you’ll learn what can happen when an employee accuses their employer of violating the FAMLI Act or any of its rules and regulations, or what an employer should do if they suspect an employee is abusing the program. We also adopted amendments to our?rules regarding Coordination of Benefits and Reimbursement of Advanced Payments.
We encourage all members of our community, employers and families alike, to review these?new rules, as they determine how the program will operate.
