Social progressives applauded Gov. Ned Lamont last week for a once-controversial paid family and medical leave program that has been used 190,000 times and paid out nearly $1 billion in benefits as it closes its third year of existence.

A bill creating the paid leave program passed with Lamont’s support in 2019, his first year in office. The program essentially is a state-mandated disability insurance program funded by a tax on workers of one-half of 1%. 

It provides up to 12 weeks of replacement wages, payable on a sliding scale ranging up to a maximum of 95% for minimum-wage earners, capped at $900 a week.
