Commission clarifies that Minnesota paid‑leave payments are ineligible salary for pensions; members may purchase service credit LCPR adopted an amendment clarifying that payments from the Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave program would not count as salary for pension calculations but that plan members may purchase service credit for that period; PERA and plan staff supported the approach and the commission moved the bill into the pension omnibus.

Minnesota's new amendment on paid family leave payments could change how pension calculations work, allowing members to buy back service credit for their time off!

Mental Health Needs of Families of Patients in Intensive Care Units and the Role of Mobile Health: Survey Study Background: The experiences of patients with #covid19 and their families manifested the most devastating effects of family separation since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic and, with it, a call for solutions to patient isolation and its effect on family mental health. Objective: This study examined the recent experiences of families of critical care (intensive care unit; ICU) patients related to anxiety and depression (AD), satisfaction with clinician-family communication, and counseling from mental health and social services. This study explored correlations between these factors and family interest in mobile health (mHealth) designed to improve information flow and communication from patient bedside to remote families. Methods: Using a 36-question quantitative survey, we collected 97 responses over 6 months. We selected participants by using a convenience sampling strategy. To analyze data, we applied descriptive and inferential statistics. Participants represented a spectrum of ages, relationships to patients, and races (n=78, 80% White; n=17, 18% Black; n=2, 2% other races). Approximately 17% (n=16) of the patients were admitted for #Cancer, 13% (n=13) were admitted for #covid19, and 21% (n=20) were admitted for other conditions. Results: The mean score for remote families’ satisfaction with patient health updates from the bedside and mental health services was 2.94 (SD 1.31), whereas that for phone communication was lower on average. The mean scores of family AD levels were elevated, and levels were higher among family members during the ICU stay than after discharge. These findings confirmed evidence of a negative correlation between transportation difficulties and satisfaction with the frequency of information provided (r=−0.284; P=.005), suggesting that, with the increase in transportation challenges, families become less satisfied with the frequency of patient health information. Family members expressed strong interest in using mHealth information and communication services (mean 8.34, SD 1.98) and having easy access to social workers to manage AD (mean 8.29, SD 2.03). Families experiencing higher levels of anxiety during patients’ ICU stays had significantly greater interest in the use of an mHealth app that would provide direct access to social workers (r=0.326; P

House Finance Committee hears HB 193 to raise UI benefits and create paid parental leave; stakeholders provide mixed implementation recommendations Representative Carolyn Hall recapped House Bill 193 on March 18: it would raise Alaska's unemployment insurance wage base and weekly benefit, index them for inflation, and create a paid parental leave program funded by reallocated UI contributions. Public testimony ranged from strong support to detailed technical recommendations on benefit duration, exemptions and implementation timing.

Alaska is on the verge of a significant transformation in unemployment benefits and parental leave, thanks to House Bill 193, which could redefine support for families across the state!
