Early Trends on New York’s Paid Family Leave

ShelterPoint Life’s Claimant Data Shows Fathers Are Taking PFL Too. In fact, almost 27% of Paid
Family Leave bonding claims were from fathers using New York’s Paid Family Leave to bond with
their new baby.

Garden City, NY, June 14, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Almost 27% of Paid Family Leave bonding claims were
from fathers using New York's Paid Family Leave to bond with their new baby. This finding is based on
ShelterPoint Life Insurance Company's (“ShelterPoint Life”) claim data, which is also available in an
infographic on paternity leave, released to the public today. ShelterPoint Life is New York's largest
statutory disability insurance (DBL)(1) and now Paid Family Leave insurance carrier.

ShelterPoint Life assembled claims data encompassing bonding leave since the New York Paid Family
Leave law went into effective on January 1, 2018. The infographic provides facts and figures on general
paternity leave, and contrasts New York with reports from California and Rhode Island on bonding leave
utilization. Some interesting discoveries have already emerged, for example, such as states with PFL-like
programs are seeing that more dads are taking time to bond with their newborns and for a longer period of
time - with the biggest impact on leaves extending beyond 4 weeks.
