Paid family leave

[Baby1_2]

Are there any moms that had  worked in California and received PFL during her maternity leave?? I want to know your experience... I know they pay you up to 3 months but after that there is another program called "baby bonding time" that can pay you up another extra 3 months, I believe those extra 3 months have to be paid back when you do your taxes, but you get to spend more time with your newborn baby.... Has anyone done or heard or this before?

His HR rep also mentioned it to him and is asking what he plans to do

I would contact you companies HR dept. My husband is looking at taking the PFL after our son is born. His company gives him 2 weeks paid using his vacation time and then he can take 6 more weeks that CA pays but its at a discounted pay rate, anywhere from 50%-75% of his normal pay but can not be more than 1085.00 a week. And you can take all 6 weeks at one time or 2 weeks at a time over 1 year after birth. I think if you want to use any paid time off to make up the difference you can, just cant be more than 100% of your standard pay. I found all the info at the gov web site for PFL
