SB 6127 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requiring a performance audit of program integrity measures in Washington's paid family and medical leave program.

SB 6127 requires Washington's state auditor to conduct a performance audit of fraud protections, eligibility verification, and claim recovery processes in the state's paid family and medical leave program. The audit will evaluate how effectively the program prevents fraud, verifies claim eligibility, recovers improper payments, and communicates claim details to employers and employees. It mandates specific recommendations for improving these processes and requires progress reports by December 2026 and a final report by December 2027, with the requirement expiring December 31, 2027. This bill directly affects workers using the program and employers receiving claim information.
