California’s Paid Family Leave
The United States was still reeling from the effects of the pandemic over the past few years, there has been a renewed focus on the benefits offered within the country to residents, especially from low-income households. In the previous year, the country’s economy suffered from a cost of living crisis that saw the price of everyday items such as groceries, gas, and electricity skyrocket. While part of the reason was the supply chain issues brought forth by the lockdown measures, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions added further fuel to the fire.
Furthermore, the American economy has now been pushed to the brink of a recession. Given that California is already renowned for its cost of living, an incoming recession would leave several struggling to make ends meet and force them to depend on welfare schemes such as Paid Family Leave.
FAQs – Paid Family Leave
California offers Paid Family Leave to its residents in the chance to take some time off, while still receiving a monetary payoff, to do one of the following:
- Care for a seriously ill family member
- Bond with a new child
- Participate in a qualifying event because of a family member’s deployment in military
These benefits can total up to 70 or 80 percent of one’s weekly wages that were earned five to 18 months prior to their claim’s start date.
You can get another job while you still receive these benefits intermittently provided you are working part-time and meet the other eligibility criteria.
