July Spotlight: Your Weekly Benefit May Have Gone Up! |
Did your weekly FAMLI benefit recently increase? |
Every year, there’s a change to the State Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) across Colorado benefits systems, including My FAMLI+. This means changes to the SAWW also make changes to your benefits! |
On July 1, the Colorado SAWW increased to $1,534.94 — meaning the weekly FAMLI benefits max has increased to $1,381.45. For some claimants, this change may mean you’re seeing a higher weekly benefit than you’re used to. The good news? No action is needed on your end! |
The My FAMLI+ system automatically applies the new SAWW to all affected claims. If your payment amount needs to go up, the update will happen seamlessly — no forms, no calls, no extra steps required. |
Want to check your claim? Just log in to your My FAMLI+ account to view your updated claim details. You’ll always find the most accurate information there. |

New Upgrades to Help You File Appeals and Track Intermittent Leave |
Recent updates to the My FAMLI+ portal are here to save you time and make your FAMLI benefit more accessible than ever. |
- Flexibility: You can now add multiple appellants or appellees when filing a new appeal.
- Clarity: When submitting an appeal, you’ll see a clear list of relevant claims to choose from.
- Efficiency: If you’re trying to appeal a decision that’s already been appealed, the system will notify you of its status.
- Accuracy: If you’re approved for intermittent medical leave, it’s now easier to report your hours accurately within the 30-day window your provider has certified.
|
FAMLI is committed to helping you stay on track — and giving you more confidence as you manage your benefits. |
Check out your portal today! And for general questions about the appeals process after checking the status on My FAMLI+, send an email to CDLE_FAMLI_appeals@state.co.us. |

Know Your Leave: Changing Jobs During a Leave Claim |
FAMLI leave is flexible because your life or your job can change. If you start a new job or your schedule shifts during your leave, here's how to stay on track: |
👇 If You're on Continuous Leave: |
- Log in to My FAMLI+, go to your claim, and select Update Employment under Employer Details to add your new job.
- Your benefits will continue for the full, approved duration — even if you stop working at your current job.
- If you start a new job during your leave, let us know! Your benefit amount may change based on your new income.
|
👇 If You're on Intermittent Leave or a Reduced Schedule: |
- Any job change or schedule adjustment must be reported to FAMLI so your benefits stay accurate.
- You can add or remove a job — or update your work hours — right in your My FAMLI+ account by using the Update Employment feature.
|
🚨 What if you stop working completely? |
- If you're totally unemployed, even for just one day, you’ll need to end your current claim early by calling us directly.
- When you start working again, you’re welcome to apply for a new claim based on your new job.
|
We’re here to help you get the support you need—no matter how your work situation changes. Have questions? Give us a call at 1-866-CO-FAMLI (1-866-263-2654) or write us at CDLE_FAMLI_info@state.co.us. |

When you voted for paid leave, you established care as a core Colorado value. And last month, 2,378 Coloradans took leave to care for someone they love. That’s over 2,000 reminders you’re part of something bigger – you’re part of the FAMLI family. |

“FAMLI has given the opportunity to heal with ease. I'm able to take time off to relax and have time to rest and attend all doctor appointments required with the ability to have money in my pocket.” |
That’s from Alejandra, who took FAMLI leave to recover after a heart attack. |
