Bill > H1180

This bill amends Chapter 175M of the Massachusetts General Laws to explicitly include life insurance benefits alongside health insurance benefits when addressing coverage during Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML). Specifically, the bill adds the words "and life insurance benefits" to an existing section of the law, which appears to ensure that employees who take PFML will continue to receive their life insurance coverage during their leave period. This modification helps protect workers by guaranteeing that their life insurance remains in effect while they are temporarily away from work for qualifying family or medical reasons, such as caring for a new child, addressing a serious personal health condition, or caring for a family member with a serious health condition. The change provides additional clarity and protection for workers utilizing the state's PFML program by making it clear that life insurance benefits are maintained during leave periods.
