About the Mission
Maryland's Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program ensures that all workers in the state have access to paid time off for medical and family reasons. As a social insurance system, FAMLI currently covers 2.8 million workers and 180,000 employers. We are delivering these services as a digitally native, public-facing platform, pioneering a new way of doing business in government by prioritizing web-based delivery.
We are in the early stages of building an infrastructure as significant and far-reaching as unemployment insurance or a new health department. The Financial Services Directorate within the FAMLI Division is responsible for establishing and maintaining an efficient financial system, including internal controls, procedures, and audits, to safeguard funds and manage contributions and benefits payouts.
