What options are available if an employee is approved for the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the paid family and medical leave program?

(1) An employee on approved leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) may continue to receive the employer contribution toward public employees benefits board (PEBB) benefits in accordance with the federal FMLA. The employee may also continue current supplemental life, supplemental accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), and employee-paid long-term disability (LTD) insurance. The employee's employing agency is responsible for determining if the employee is eligible for leave under FMLA and the duration of such leave.
(2) An employee on approved leave under the paid family and medical leave program under chapter 50A.05 RCW may continue to receive the employer contribution toward PEBB benefits in accordance with RCW 50A.35.020. The employee may also continue current supplemental life, supplemental AD&D, and employee-paid LTD insurance. The employment security department is responsible for determining if the employee is eligible for the paid family and medical leave program.
(3) If an employee exhausts the period of leave approved under FMLA or paid family and medical leave, PEBB insurance coverage may be continued by self-paying the premium and applicable premium surcharges set by the HCA, with no contribution from the employing agency as described in WAC 182-12-133(1).
