The Department of Family and Medical Leave (DFML) recently announced that all approved MA PFML private plans (fully insured and self-insured plans) are required to furnish required data to DFML for the 2024 fiscal year. The submission form will open online on July 1, 2024, and the deadline for submission is August 31, 2024.
As background, employers with approved MA PFML private plans are required to maintain reports, information and records related to their approved plan and furnish required data to DFML on request. DFML is now collecting information from each private plan for the period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024.
For fully insured MA PFML private plans, the insurer is responsible for submitting this report. Employers who sponsor self-insured and self-administered MA PFML private plans are responsible for submitting the report. If the private plan is self-insured and an insurer or TPA is administering the plan, the employer should consult their administrator regarding report submission.
DFML indicated that it may withdraw approval of a private plan for refusing or failing to submit a required report. Employers who sponsor MA PFML private plans should work with their insurer or TPA or work internally to gather the required data and submit the report on time.
