EVENT CANCELLED - FAMLI Education
Event Sponsors
The Maryland Department of Labor has proposed extending the implementation of the Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) Program.
The Maryland General Assembly is expected to take legislative action on this proposal in the near future. Therefore, our FAMLI Education Workshop scheduled for February 19, 2025 will be cancelled as we await more information and details regarding this proposed change.
The Department of Labor recommends the following updated implementation schedule:
- Payroll deductions would begin January 1, 2027
- Benefits would become available on January 1, 2028
We will continue tracking proposed legislation regarding FAMLI and will keep you up-to-date. For more information about this proposed change, you can review the Department of Labor’s press release. To stay up-to-date on the latest information regarding FAMLI, you can sign up for alerts here.

- Brooks Wright, ShelterPoint Life
- Glenn Arrington, Group Benefit Strategies
- Janice Palmer, Upper Shore Regional Council
- Phil Buchanan, Benefit Watch
- JoAnn Ragan, Crothers Insurance
We look forward to rescheduling this event in the future!
