While you're on leave

Senate Bill 5586 made changes to Paid Leave’s privacy provisions. For any employer marked as a “current employer,” we’ll share the following information:

• Employee name
• Benefit Claim ID number
• Application date and requested leave dates
• Leave type (Medical or Family)
• Decision and approved leave dates

If you submit weekly claims, employers will only have  access to our decisions:

• WW = Waiting week
• Yes = Approved and paid week
• No = Denied or unpaid

If any of the benefit details listed above change, the new information will be shown to your employer.

We will not be sharing:

• Your health information,
• The reason you have applied for leave,
• Your weekly benefit amount,
• Your payment amounts,
• Your hours used,
• If your application is currently being redetermined or appealed, or
• If there are any other employers associated with your account or leave.

You can share this information with your employer if you choose. Some employers may ask for this information if they want to top off your benefit or provide supplemental benefits.

Yes! Keeping your current employer up to date while you are on leave ensures only the right people have access to your information. If you have changed jobs or began working for a new employer since you began using Paid Leave, there are two ways to update your employer information online:

• From your benefit account homepage, click Update Current Employer in the “Take Action” section. Use the options on the screen to update the information we have or add any missing employers.
• After you submit a weekly claim, on the “Next Steps” screen, click Update Employers. Use the options on the screen to update the information we have or add any missing employers.
