The District of Columbia has issued an updated maximum weekly benefit amount payable for the DC Paid Family and Medical Leave program (DC PFL), effective October 1, 2025.
The district’s minimum wage was increased to $17.95/hour. As a result, the maximum weekly DC PFL benefit amount – which is calculated as 90% of the employee’s average weekly wage based on the statutory minimum wage – will increase to $1,190 per week from $1,153.
Employers should be aware of the 2025-26 benefit increase and should visit the DC Paid Family Leave website for further information.
