As Mother's Day approaches, Governor Newsom highlights a first-of-its-kind in the nation paid family leave program
What you need to know: Ahead of Mother's Day, Governor Newsom recognizes mothers and maternal figures for their dedication and strength, and highlights the Paid Family Leave program and the benefits the program provides for mothers. Through the Employment Development Department, the Paid Family Leave program provides Californians up to eight weeks of benefit payments so they can bond with a new child, or care for a loved one.
SACRAMENTO – In recognition of the dedication and strength of mothers and maternal figures across California, Governor Gavin Newsom highlights California's Paid Family Leave (PFL) program — the first comprehensive program in the nation to financially support mothers who want to take time off to bond with their babies, adopted children, or foster children. Since 2004, PFL has been supporting families for over 20 years, and serves as a foundation for Californians to be present with their families during life-changing events.
As Mother's Day approaches, we honor the women who lift up our communities, nurture our children, and bring joy and stability into our homes. We remain committed to supporting families—because strong families build a stronger California. Through our Paid Family Leave program, we're making sure parents have the time to bond, to be present, and to support one another during life's most important moments. That's what it means to truly support families across the Golden State.
Governor Gavin Newsom
California's Paid Family Leave program is a strong reflection of our state's values – that mothers are the backbone of our families. Every day, and especially on Mother's Day, California continues to show up for working mothers and caregivers, providing them with the space and time to care for their newborns, their families, and themselves. California will continue leading with policies that support a stronger, healthier future for families across the state.
First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom
Managed by the Employment Development Department (EDD), PFL provides up to eight weeks of benefit payments to Californians who take time off work to bond with a new baby (including foster and adopted children), care for a seriously ill loved one, or support a military family member serving abroad.
"When a new baby arrives or a loved one needs care, people shouldn't have to choose between being there for their family and paying the bills," said Assembly Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters), chair of the California Legislative Women's Caucus. "California's Paid Family Leave program gives workers up to eight weeks of support and is a practical step in the right direction to help people take care of their family and loved ones."

This past year, PFL also reached a new milestone, receiving more than 482,000 applications — the highest on record. Of those, 41% were from women, specifically for bonding with their new child. Fathers, non-birthing parents, adoptive and foster parents may also qualify for bonding benefits.

"Paid Family Leave gives California workers peace of mind financially so they can be there for the moments that matter most," said EDD Director Nancy Farias. "In 2025, we saw record use of the program with Californians turning to Paid Family Leave to support their families when they needed it. We're continuing to improve the experience, so the program is easier to understand, access, and manage."
Impact by the numbers
Bridging the gap for families in the Golden State
In 2024, EDD made the process for how Californians access and manage benefits online simpler by integrating the PFL program into the same online system used by disability customers. As a result, customers can now get claim information conveniently through one portal, myEDD, the department's online access to benefit programs.
