Colorado Family and Medical Leave Insurance (CO FAMLI)

Update (12/24/25, Effective 01/01/26): The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment has released an updated workplace notice for the FAMLI program, outlining an employee’s eligibility and qualifying reasons for leave. You can find the new notice under the ‘Notice Requirements’ section below.

Update (06/08/26, Effective 07/01/26): Colorado released the new maximum weekly benefit amount for their FAMLI program going into effect on July 1, 2026. The maximum benefit amount is increasing to $1,448.02 (from $1,381.45), which means any current or new claims will be adjusted to the updated rate as of the effective date. Please be sure to adjust any supplemental pay to account for the new amount. Larkin will make these adjustments if we handle these services for you.

Employers are legally required to display the CO FAMLI notice in a prominent location, as well as notify its employees in writing upon hire and upon learning of an employee’s request to take a leave of absence. If you have employees that work remotely, we would recommend also posting this on your company intranet. The notice for CO FAMLI can be found here.

Please ensure as a company you are offsetting any salary continuation/company top-up pay aligned with the new maximum weekly benefit rate where applicable.

*Claims that started prior to 07/01/26 may be awarded an updated benefit rate. Claims that begin on or after 07/01/26 will be eligible for the new maximum benefit rate.
