Legislative Summary

As introduced, Bill 26-181 would prohibit private disability insurance providers from reducing short-term disability benefits based on actual or estimated paid leave benefits an eligible individual may be entitled to from the District, regardless of the jurisdiction in which the insurance policy was issued. It would also make offsetting or reducing benefits under a short-term disability insurance policy based on estimated or actual benefits received under the Universal Paid Leave Amendment Act of 2016 enforceable under the law.
