## Resource

A new bipartisan bill aims to transform paid family and medical leave across the U.S., offering federal grants to states that provide at least six weeks of partially paid leave for new parents, caregiving, or personal illness — helping workers like Joyvin Benton, who faced financial stress during a high-risk pregnancy. Designed to empower states with flexibility while ensuring consistency, the “More Paid Leave for More Americans Act” seeks to end the choice between income and care — a win for families and businesses alike, even as it faces hurdles on Capitol Hill.
