Support Improvements to NJ's Family Leave Insurance Program
NASW-NJ continues to work with the
NJ Time to Care Coalition to bring needed improvements to our state's Family Leave Insurance program that will allow more workers to access the program.
Have you needed time to care for family or will you need it soon? The Coalition is looking for people who can share their stories about the need for family leave. Email Dena at Time to Care to discuss how you can add your story to the Time to Care Coalition StoryBank. Your personal story can provide a powerful reason for legislators to act on this bill and ensure everyone who needs paid time to care for family can access it!
You can also sign this letter urging the Legislature to act to improve NJ's paid family leave program.
