Massachusetts becomes the fourth state in the Northeast to mandate benefits under a paid family and medical leave act
DBL Center, the family-owned and operated wholesale insurance general agency specializing in statutory short-term disability benefits, is ready to offer Massachusetts insurance brokers and business owners incredible savings on PFML plans under the new Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave Act.
The MA Paid Family and Medical Leave Act applies to individuals who need time off:
- Due to a serious health condition
- To care for a newborn, newly adopted or new foster child within the first year of the event
- To care for family while a spouse is deployed in the Armed Forces
- To care for a family member of any age with a serious health condition
Privatize Massachusetts Family and Medical Leave Act Coverage for Competitive Benefits at Lower Rates
As in New York and New Jersey, states which have offered short-term disability and paid family leave for several years, business owners in Massachusetts have the option to privatize their FMLA policies for substantial cost reductions.
By law, private FMLA plans must offer benefits of the same amount and duration – or better – than plans underwritten and paid for by the state. That’s why it’s important for business owners to find a source they can trust to write their family and medical leave act coverage in Massachusetts.
Bundle PFML to Save Even More
PFML is a stand-alone benefit, but not every carrier can write PFML as a stand-alone policy. DBL Center has the industry connections and the volume to write PFML direct to businesses or to act as an insurance wholesale general agency for Massachusetts brokers.
DBL Center delivers white-glove service, low premiums, and superior benefits packages. Businesses can save even more by bundling FMLA coverage with group ancillary benefits like dental, vision, and group life / AD&D.
DBL Center Enhances Focuses on Customer Service and Technology
As testament to the company’s dedication to customer service and education, DBL Center recently launched a Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave Act Resource Center on its website.
DBL Center also recently introduced 24/7 live chat on its website. Simply type in the chat box and a knowledgeable representative will answer your questions about the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Act, short- or long-term disability insurance, and group ancillary benefits.
“Massachusetts in the fourth state in our region to introduce paid family leave. As experts in short-term disability and paid family leave in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, DBL Center is poised to become the number one source for brokers and business owners, alike, to privatize PFML in Massachusetts for cost-savings and exemplary customer service,” says DBL Center President and CEO Michael Cohen. “We want anyone in Massachusetts affected by the law to know they can come to us with questions, for guidance, or to write their policies at substantial savings compared to the state plan.”
