Navigating What's Next: State Disability and Paid Family Medical Leave in 2026

Lockton

Speakers: Paula Day, JD and Sierra Poulson, JD

As state-mandated partial wage-replacement programs continue to evolve, employers face an increasingly complex landscape. From updated contribution rates and expanded definitions to other nuances, state disability insurance (SDI) and paid family and medical leave (PFML) laws are shifting—and 2026 is no exception. We will go through each existing program – including the 2026 launch of programs in Delaware, Minnesota and Maine.

Join us for a forward-looking discussion covering:

• Recent updates to SDI and PFML programs across key states including significant changes to the Washington PFML program
• 2026 contribution and benefit changes you need to know
• Coordination challenges with employer-provided benefits
• Tips for multi-state compliance and practical planning

Whether you're operating in one state or many, this session will help you anticipate what's ahead and prepare with confidence.
