Provides eight weeks of pregnancy-related temporary disability leave benefits after delivery date.

This New Jersey bill (A4358) increases post-delivery pregnancy-related leave benefits from six to eight weeks. It directly affects covered employees (including those with private health plans) who qualify for temporary disability benefits related to pregnancy or childbirth. Key provisions require employers to automatically process a single application for both temporary disability and paid family leave benefits (unless the employee opts out), and mandate written notice to temporary disability claimants about the combined application process. The change applies immediately to all new benefit applications filed on or after the effective date.
