S 8727 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Extends paid family leave benefits to members of the New York national guard

This bill extends New York's existing paid family leave program to include members of the New York Army National Guard and New York Air National Guard. It adds these service members to the list of eligible workers who qualify for paid family leave after serving for 26 consecutive weeks. The change does not alter the current 26-week employment requirement but explicitly includes National Guard enlistment as qualifying service. This directly affects National Guard members who meet the 26-week service threshold, granting them access to the same paid family leave benefits as other covered employees.
