Summary

Minnesota’s paid family and medical leave program is hitting its stride—75,000 workers have already used it this year, with the state paying out over $600 million. Starting January 2026, eligible Minnesotans can take up to 20 weeks off and still earn 55–90% of their wages. Best part? Premiums won’t rise in 2027—staying at 0.88%—keeping costs predictable as the program stays fully funded and balanced.
