How to navigate FAMLI overpayments
FAMLI benefits are calculated for each unique claimant, and if those calculations change, the benefit can change, too. In some cases, claimants may find that they’ve been overpaid by the FAMLI Division.

From migraines to rheumatoid arthritis, serious health conditions aren’t always predictable. In fact, many with an intermittent disease know that flare-ups can happen at the most inconvenient times.
