    FAMLI Division Regulatory Update

    Our proposed rules regarding Private Plans were filed earlier this month and are now published on our rules page. A virtual rulemaking public hearing will be held on Monday, October 17, 2022 beginning at 5 p.m., ending once the last person who wishes to speak has been heard. Anyone may submit comments to the FAMLI Division regarding any proposed or adopted rules at any time. The public comment period for proposed rules on Private Plans (7 CCR 1107-5), will close on Tuesday, October 18, 2022 at 8 a.m.

    Proposed rules for Coordination of Benefits and Employer Reimbursement of Advance Payment will be filed in the coming days. Notices of all public hearings are posted on our rules page where you can also read adopted rules, proposed rules, listen to past public hearings and submit public comments.

    Resources for Third Party Administrators (TPA’s)

    Third party administrators (TPA's) will play a critical role in ensuring many employers are set up for success and remain in compliance with the requirements of the FAMLI program. We’ve created a dedicated page for TPA's with several new resources, including file format specifications for wage reporting and bulk registration, sample files, and payment schedules. If you are a TPA, or work with a TPA, we encourage you to share this page with your administrator to ensure your systems are prepared to begin payroll deductions in January 2023. We’ll be sharing more guidance and how-to guides once My FAMLI+ Employer is live later this year.
