Legislation championed by Vice President Vance saves money for new moms and dads
WASHINGTON – Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Fairness for Stay-at-Home Parents Act, which exempts new parents from paying back health insurance premiums to their employers, should they choose not to return to work after maternity or paternity leave. Under current law, employers can “claw back” premiums from new moms and dads if they stay at home following parental leave.
