NH Paid Family Medical Leave (NH PFML) is a voluntary paid family and medical leave insurance plan where NH employers and eligible NH workers can access 60% wage replacement (up to the Social Security wage cap) for up to six weeks per year for absences related to life events such as:

• A worker’s own serious health condition when disability coverage does not apply, including childbirth
• For a worker to bond with a child during the first year of birth, including placement for adoption or fostering
• For a worker to care for a family member with a serious health condition
• Any qualifying urgent demand or need arising out of the fact that the worker’s spouse, child, or parent is a covered military member on covered active duty
• For a worker to care for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness if the eligible worker is the service member’s spouse, child, parent or next of kin
