🚨 MD FAMLI Is Coming—Help Your Clients Be Ready 🚨

Position yourself as the expert your clients will rely on

Maryland’s Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (MD FAMLI) program is approaching fast—and your employer clients will be turning to you for guidance.

Employer mandates take effect in just a few months. Brokers who act now can strengthen client relationships, deliver strategic value, and help employers avoid unnecessary cost exposure.

Are you prepared to lead those conversations?

We have a Webinar Series for MD FAMLI to support you and your clients.

🎓 FREE Broker Only Webinar: MD FAMLI Readiness

Everything you need to advise clients—before decisions become costly.

👥 Audience: Insurance brokers, consultants only

📅 Date: May 12, 2026

⏰ Time: 12:00 PM Eastern

⏳ Length: 30 minutes

What you will learn:

Answers to immediate coverage questions employers should be aware of now.
Employers have action items due for MD FAMLI’s program starting in 2026.
Broker insights from real-life lessons learned from other PFML states to reduce common pitfalls that can lead to client dissatisfaction.
Practical strategies to reduce risk, mitigate new contribution costs and administrative burden.
If you are not talking to your clients – someone else will be.

MD Employers will have a separate online seminar. We will send you that invitation separately

Why Attend?

With the Maryland FAMLI program launching and employer duties starting soon, brokers will be on the front lines of client questions.
