New Jersey Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) provides eligible New Jersey workers with paid benefits during pregnancy, childbirth recovery, and bonding with a new baby. Pregnant individuals can qualify for Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) benefits while they are unable to work because of pregnancy, recovery from birth, or recovery from complications like postpartum depression. After delivery and recovery, benefits can cover time off to bond with a new baby. These programs enable families to focus on recovery, bonding, and caring for their new baby during their time away from work.
