2025 DMEC Annual Conference: Untangle the Tangled Mess – PFML Private Plan Applications & Renewals

Thirteen states and the District of Columbia have mandatory paid family and medical leave, paid family leave, and disability programs. Each has different requirements to apply for and renew private plans. In this presentation, review the intricacies of state private plan application and renewal requirements, including voting application, renewal fees, filing by federal employee ID number (FEIN) or bulk filings, approval and effective dates, applications and filing documents for the fully insured and self-insured, employee notice, claims and certification forms, and durations and renewals. Leave with a toolkit that includes a one-page resource of application and renewal highlights for each state and a more in-depth guide that includes a calendar tool to determine when to file for a desired policy effective date.
