Paid Leave Makes it Possible
Minnesota Paid Leave helps you be there when it matters. Because no matter who you are-a friend, a neighbor, a spouse or a family member-we all need time to take care of ourselves and the ones we love.

Applicants
I am applying for Paid Leave.
We are currently accepting applications from Minnesota parents who welcomed a child into their home in 2025. If you have welcomed a child within the past year, plan to take leave within the next 60 days, and intend to take your bonding leave in a single block of time, you can apply today. Otherwise, check back for updates as we prepare for Paid Leave to start on January 1, 2026. Thank you for your patience!
