Dream Jobbed, I hate to be the one to tell you this (and I mean that in all sincerity), but that new family leave law doesn't start until 2021.Starting in 2020 CT has the best maternity leave in the country though.
"If signed, then starting in 2021, workers in Connecticut would get 12 weeks off to care for a new baby, a seriously ill family member or loved one or to deal with their own illness. The benefit will be funded by a payroll tax on workers of 0.5 percent. Benefits will cover 95 percent of low-wage workers’ pay up to $900 a week, the most generous level of wage replacement in the country."
Connecticut Passes Most Generous Paid Family Leave Law In The U.S.
The state will be the seventh to offer the benefit to new parents.
I believe it's also discussed on the CT DOL site.
