Temporarily limiting the annual adjustment to the maximum weekly benefit amount for paid family and medical leave.
SB 6141 temporarily freezes the maximum weekly benefit amount for Washington's paid family and medical leave program at the 2025 level for 2027 benefits. This means the cap will not increase automatically on January 1, 2027, as it would have under the existing law, keeping the maximum at $1,000 per week for that year. The bill directly affects workers who use the state's paid leave program, preventing an annual adjustment that would otherwise raise the benefit cap based on state wage averages.
