Federal FMLA provides job protection, but many states offer additional paid leave benefits that can run alongside your federal entitlements. Programs like California’s CFRA, New York’s Paid Family Leave, New Jersey’s FLI, and Washington’s PFML each have their own eligibility rules and benefit amounts. Our state-by-state guides help you understand what protections are available where you live — and how to stack them with federal FMLA. FMLA Docs can certify you for both federal and state leave programs in a single telehealth visit.
