Protecting Health Benefits for Parents After Childbirth Leave

New rules protect parents who do not return to work after parental leave from having to repay health insurance premiums paid by their employer. Employers will be required to inform employees about this change. This aims to support families choosing to stay at home with a newborn child.
Key points
Employers cannot recover health care premiums if an employee doesn't return to work due to childbirth.
Employers must notify eligible employees about this protection.
This applies to leave taken for the birth of a son or daughter.
