Department of Family and Medical Leave Appeals Handbook

The DFML Appeals Handbook was created to serve as a quick reference resource for all DFML Appeals staff. The information included within is a training document as well as required knowledge for all Appeals staff. It is expected that all procedures and decisions made by the DFML Appeals team will be made consistently and in full accordance with the Handbook. This information contained within is subject to change and will be updated periodically to reflect changes to relevant statutes, regulations, and DFML sub-regulatory policy. The Department of Family and Medical Leave (DFML) Appeals Department strives to resolve as many appeals of Paid Family/Medical Leave (PFML) initial determinations as efficiently as possible.
