An Act ensuring life insurance coverage while taking Paid Family and Medical Leave

HD 2089 amends existing law to require employers to maintain employees' life insurance coverage during periods of Paid Family and Medical Leave, just as health insurance coverage is currently maintained. This directly affects workers who take qualifying leave and their employers who provide life insurance benefits. The bill adds the specific phrase "and life insurance benefits" to the relevant section of the law, ensuring life insurance coverage continues uninterrupted while employees are on leave. It makes no new provisions but extends an existing requirement for health insurance to include life insurance. The change applies to all employers covered under the current Paid Family and Medical Leave program.
