The short answer

Massachusetts employers with 25 or more covered individuals are about to see their PFML dollars move to a different line.

Starting January 1, 2027, the required employer contribution shifts off medical leave and onto family leave — it's a structural swap, not a rate hike, and employers with fewer than 25 covered individuals see no change at all.
