- Identify your state's paid family leave program and agency20 min
Paid family leave is a state program, not a federal one — there is no national portal or form. Find your state in the table and open its claims portal: that portal is where your account, your claim, and every later document will live.

Then there is no state paid family leave to claim. Your options are the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (unpaid, job-protected leave), your employer's parental or short-term disability policy, and — for your own medical condition — private short-term disability insurance. A few other states have enacted programs that are not yet paying benefits; check the NCSL chart below.
