Introduction

Maryland's Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program makes sure all workers in Maryland have paid time off for medical and family reasons.  FAMLI is a $2 billion social insurance system, delivered as a digitally native, public-facing service.  We're in the early stages of building something as big and as far-reaching as unemployment insurance or a new health department.  We know that delivering services primarily through a website, over the Internet, is a new way of doing business in government.
