abstract: 'Context: The New York Paid Family Leave (NYPFL) law was passed in April
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016 and took effect January 1, 2018. Expanding paid family leave (PFL)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coverage has been proposed as a public health strategy to improve
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population health and reduce disparities. Objective: To describe
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
first-year enrollment in NYPFL and to evaluate utilization of NYPFL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefits. Design: Observational study. Setting: New York State.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Participants: Employees enrolled in the NYPFL program (N = 8 528 580).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: We merged NYPFL enrollment and claim data sets for 2018.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Descriptive analysis and multiple logistic regression models were used
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to assess utilization by demographic variables and business size. Main
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Outcome Measure(s): Utilization and duration of NYPFL to bond with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
newborn or care for a family member differed by employees'' age, sex,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
race and ethnicity, residence, income, and business size. Results:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Approximately 90\% of working New Yorkers (N = 8 528 580) were enrolled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in NYPFL. First-year utilization of PFL for newborn bonding and family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care (9.4 and 4.0 per 1000 employees, respectively) was higher than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comparable state PFL programs in California, New Jersey, or Rhode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Island. An estimated 38.5\% of employed women in New York utilized PFL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for newborn bonding. Employees who worked at small businesses (1-49
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employees) had lower utilization of PFL. Employees with lower incomes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were more likely to claim PFL and employees of color or with lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
incomes were more likely to take the maximum 8 weeks of PFL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: These findings suggest that state PFL programs increase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equity in employment benefits. Wider adoption of state/federal PFL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
programs could help reduce health disparities and improve maternal and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
infant health outcomes.'
