How long can I receive benefits under this program?

Under the Washington Paid Family & Medical Leave program, individuals may be eligible to receive benefits for a maximum of twelve weeks within a twelve-month period. This is applicable for most qualifying events, such as family leave or medical leave. In cases where an individual experiences a significant medical condition, such as a serious health issue or complications related to a pregnancy, they may qualify for up to sixteen weeks of benefits. Additionally, if an individual is experiencing a combination of family and medical leave, that can extend the maximum time to a total of up to eighteen weeks. It is important to note that the specific duration of benefits can depend on the circumstances and should be verified by referencing the most current information available on the official Washington Paid Family & Medical Leave web page.
