In my video about expenses
[2]
travel between and China
[7]
that I didn't count in
[9]
the hidden expense that occurred
[11]
during my absence from my job
[13]
the reduced income ect
[15]
I only calculated the total cost
[21]
I think that comment makes a lot of sense
[37]
the salary is not paid by the company
[41]
that my company purchased
[44]
the PFML insurance from
[50]
The total amount is about the minimum wage in MA
[55]
so based on that comment
[57]
let me share my experience applying for PFML in this situation
[63]
when I was in MA, USA
[66]
while my family member is in another country
[71]
US does not have the best Paid Leave
[74]
US may not have the best Paid Leave
[77]
compared to other developed countries
[82]
there are 9 states requiring PFML for employers
[84]
not nation wide requirement
[94]
Including these 9 states
[99]
each individual employer can purchase the insurance as benefits
[107]
here is some introduction of PFML
[122]
anyone who has W-2 or 1099
[309]
this is the tricky part
[312]
I served as a translator
[314]
to help my family member's physician
[317]
in China to fill in the form
[354]
The physician doesn't have the license
[359]
I talked over the situation with the insurance company
[362]
and got the approval
[460]
you should also check with your HR
[462]
on the possible changes
[464]
on your compensation
[479]
that's all I want to share
[483]
for people have similar background
[486]
when you need to go abroad to
[488]
take care of your family member
[490]
don't forget to consider the option of PFML
[493]
instead of quitting your job etc
[496]
hope this video is helpful to some people
