[{"type":"text","content":"WELLESLEY, Mass., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Life U.S. has expanded the availability of its Family Leave Insurance (FLI) offering to now include Arizona, Wyoming and Pennsylvania, with additional states poised for later this year. This brings the total number of states where Sun Life offers its fully insured paid family leave coverage to 14, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. FLI broadens workers' access to paid leave, giving employers the option to easily provide a valuable benefit to their employees when there isn't a state-mandated program in place. Sun Life has long been an advocate for paid leave, working with state legislatures to include a private plan option alongside mandated programs and supporting legislative proposals that would extend the employer federal paid leave tax credit. Sun Life FLI aligns with the current tax credit and will align with changes in the future.","length":1006,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"image","alt":"Sun Life Financial Logo (PRNewsfoto/Sun Life Financial)","displaySize":"","headline":null,"caption":"Sun Life Financial Logo (PRNewsfoto/Sun Life Financial)","className":"","disableSlideshowImg":false,"size":{"original":{"width":400,"height":105,"url":"https://media.zenfs.com/en/prnewswire.com/e54db0d15ee69cdb07e6f5d9bcdc9157"},"resized":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/lEfdKyfOd4aIDf93bXFmhA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTcwNTtoPTE4NTtjZj13ZWJw/https://media.zenfs.com/en/prnewswire.com/e54db0d15ee69cdb07e6f5d9bcdc9157","width":400,"height":105}},"href":"https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/551020/Sun_Life_V3_Logo.html","hrefExternal":true,"rel":"nofollow"},{"type":"text","content":""While the Family and Medical Leave Act provides unpaid leave up to 12 weeks, many employees have the difficult decision of whether they can afford to take time off to tend to their families," said Joi Tillman, president, Group Benefits, Sun Life U.S. "With FLI, employers can choose to offer paid family leave benefits in a structure that aligns with their business and gives their employees a valuable benefit.
