I want more information on applying for a private plan

The Connecticut Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act applies to all covered employers with one or more employees. Employers may apply with the CT Paid Leave Authority to offer a private plan to all employees for paid leave coverage if it provides the same or better benefits than the state program. The private plan must be approved in advance by the CT Paid Leave Authority.
