Join us for a live Teleforum Town Hall to learn all about LB 311, the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act in the Nebraska Legislature. This bill offers Nebraska workers paid time off for family caregiving or for personal illness.

On January 15, State Senators Sue Crawford and Machaela Cavanaugh introduced LB 311, the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act. AARP strongly supports this measure to offer employed family caregivers paid leave from their jobs to care for their loved ones.

We believe that Nebraskans should be able to care for their family members without worrying about losing their income.
