Massachusetts Changes PFML Contribution Allocation for 2027
Massachusetts has updated its paid family and medical leave contribution rules under Chapter 101 of the Acts of 2026, taking effect January 1, 2027. The change reallocates employer contributions between family and medical leave buckets — partly in response to IRS guidance on PFML benefit taxation — requiring payroll teams at employers with 25 or more covered individuals to apply revised withholding rates to wages earned from that date.
