What happens if an employee applies for both FMLA and PFML and they are approved for PFML but not for FMLA? Does this make a difference?
Answer
No. It does not make a difference.
PFML is a statewide program that has a different qualification criteria than FMLA. PFML also expands the family members who are covered by this benefit. It is possible for an employee to be approved for PFML and not qualify for FMLA.
