MA PFML Overview
A summary of the state-administered Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave ("MA PFML") program and related educational insights from our benefits consulting work with Massachusetts families taking employment leave during this milestone.
Understanding Your MA PFML Application
Highlights from the guidance available on the MA Department of Family and Medical Leave's website (www.mass.gov/DFML) about MA PFML applications and educational tips about the required MA PFML forms, which we've collected through our benefits consulting work with Massachusetts families.
Other Employment Benefits
A brief discussion about other categories of employment benefits (for example, FMLA, short-term disability insurance, health insurance, etc.) because MA PFML may be just one piece of the puzzle for understanding employment leave benefits. We share context behind other potential benefits to make the bigger picture more clear and because we see the empowering impact that education can have on how expecting parents prepare for employment leave.
Massachusetts Paid Leave Guide for Expecting Parents
Wish someone would give you an easy to follow summary about the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave ("MA PFML") program so that you are steps ahead when making your parental leave decisions? Have you looked at the Massachusetts Department of Family and Medical Leave's website (www.mass.gov/DFML) or spoken with coworkers but want another perspective on the process? We are benefits consultants and attorneys who believe that no one should lose hours of their employment leave on the phone trying to fix an issue with their benefits. Adjusting to new parenthood has its own challenges, but arguing over your access to benefits you or your employer paid into shouldn't be one of them. Sign up below to get an overview of the MA PFML program's benefits for expecting parents, a description of the required forms and application process, and background on other employment benefits to look into. We've learned the hard way that a little planning can go a long way and would love to share insights from our benefits consulting work with you!

MA PFML can be so confusing for families to navigate. Scully & O'Leary helped me better understand the MA PFML process and advocate for myself in the workplace as I went out on medical and bonding leave for the birth of my child. I hope more expecting parents use their services so they can access the leaves they need.

They are not only deeply knowledgeable and professional, but also clearly full of heart and soul. You can feel how much they genuinely care about making the world a little less intimidating - especially for individuals and small businesses who often feel overwhelmed by legal processes. Their thoughtful guidance and human-centered approach bring both clarity and comfort. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
...They are knowledgeable, kind, and empathetic, and it was a joy to learn from them!
I am a local perinatal professional, and I can’t say enough good things about Jen and Meg. I attended a workshop of theirs about parental leave, and not only was it an excellent resource for the new parents in attendance, but I also learned a lot. Since the workshop, I have referred several clients to their firm. Jen & Meg are a fabulous resource for our local parents!
