What this bill does
- This bill doubles the tax credit employers can claim for paying employees during family and medical leave, up to 50% from 25%.
- Businesses that offer paid family and medical leave to employees are affected by the expanded tax benefit.
- The change applies through 2025 and reduces federal tax revenue by allowing larger deductions for employer leave costs.

How might doubling the employer tax credit from 25% to 50% affect small businesses versus large corporations with different capacity to absorb leave costs?
- 02
What evidence suggests that increasing the tax credit will actually lead employers to expand paid leave access rather than simply reduce their tax burden?
- 03
Who bears the cost of foregone federal tax revenue from this credit expansion, and how does that trade-off compare to other uses of that funding?
