Maryland PFML

Maryland PFML is a state government program providing Paid Family and Medical Leave benefits to eligible workers in Maryland. The platform, hosted under the Maryland Department of Labor's Beacon system, allows employees, employers, and self-employed individuals to apply for and manage leave claims related to family or medical circumstances. Employers use the system to register, report wages, and remit contributions required to fund the state's PFML insurance program. Claimants can submit applications, upload supporting documentation, and track the status of their benefit requests online. The service is designed to administer wage replacement benefits for qualifying life events such as childbirth, adoption, serious illness, or military family needs, in accordance with Maryland's Family and Medical Leave Insurance law.
