There are two ways you can claim Family Leave Insurance: 

1) TRANSITIONAL BONDING CLAIM:
Claim your bonding benefits immediately after your pregnancy and recovery period (Temporary Disability Insurance) ends, with no interruption. If you received an FL2 notice in the mail and have the unique Claim ID Number handy, click the link below "Transition into bonding (FL2)." 

2) NEW BONDING CLAIM FOR THOSE WHO:

• received pregnancy disability benefits through private insurance/employer
• didn't receive pregnancy disability benefits at all or
• postponed their bonding leave to a later date making it non-transitional

You will need to submit a new application for Family Leave Insurance benefits (FL1). Click the link below "Start a new application (FL1)."
