Where can I find more information? Visit MetLife.com/PFML to learn more about the DE PFML program or visit the state’s website de.gov/paidleave. If you believe your rights under the Healthy Delaware Families Act have been violated, you may file a complaint with the Delaware Department of Labor, Division of Paid Leave, or file a private lawsuit against your employer in court.
How is the Healthy Delaware Family Act paid leave plan funded? MetLife’s DE PFML coverage will begin January 1, 2026, when benefits become payable under the Healthy Delaware Family Act. An employer may collect payroll deductions up to the state maximum that will begin when this coverage begins in 2026. Advance notice of the 2026 payroll deduction will be sent fall of 2025. Since your employer received approval for MetLife’s private plan, you will not incur a payroll deduction in 2025. The Act does not affect rights from any federal or state law prohibiting discrimination or supersede any state local law or collective bargaining agreement providing greater family or medical leaves.
