Join us in the RI State House library (2nd floor) on March 29 at 3pm as we introduce legislation that will improve one of Rhode Island's most successful programs: the Temporary Caregiver Insurance Program (TCI).

Rhode Island was a leader in creating one of the nation’s first paid leave programs for its workers in TCI. We can continue to lead the nation by making it even better!

Legislation introduced by Representative Blazejewski (H-7544) & Senator Goldin (S-2470) would improve the program by:
• Increasing the number of weeks a worker can use from four to six weeks in 2019 (and up to eight weeks in 2020)
• Expanding the category of qualifying family members to include grandchildren and siblings
• Increasing the amount workers can receive when they claim TCI
