Six years ago, after their daughter, Melina, was born, the family scraped by on Dupliseas $36,000 salary as a construction worker so Garro, a special-education teacher, could stay home. Now, since Garros job furnishes the family health insurance, shell head back to work this fall while Duplisea juggles diapers and baby bottles. His boss agreed to the time off-but he will have to forgo his $ 18-an-hour pay. It wont be easy. Though Garros $40,000 salary will cover their mortgages, the couple will have to freeze their retirement accounts, scale back on Melinas after-school activities-and pray that nothing goes wrong with the car. “It takes away from your cushion and your security,” says Garro. “Things will be tight.”The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act was supposed to help families like Garros, offering a safety net to employees who want to take time off to nurture newborns, tend to their own major illnesses or care for sick relatives. But while the law guarantees that workers wont lost their jobs, it doesnt cover their paychecks. One survey last year showed that while 24 million Americans had taken leaves since 1999, 2.7 million more wanted to but couldnt afford it. That may change soon. In response to increasing demands from voters at least 25 states are now exploring new ways to offer paid leave. One possibility: tapping state disability funds A handful of states-New York, New Jersey, California, Rhode Island and Hawaiialready dip into disability money to offer partial pay for women on maternity leave. But that doesnt help dads or people caring for elderly parents. New Jersey and New York may soon expand disability programs to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers. Thirteen states, including Arizona, Illinois and Florida, have proposed using unemployment funds to pay for leave.Massachusetts has been especially creative. When the states acting governor, Jane Swift, gave birth to twin daughters in May, she drew attention to the issue with her own working maternity leave: she telecommuted part-time but earned her usual full-time salary. Even before Swift returned to work last week, the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from a health-insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay. Another plan, proposed in the House, would require employers to kick in $20 per worker to set up a New Families Trust Fund. Businesses would get tax credits in return. This week Swift is expected to announce her own paid-leave plan for lower-income mothers and fathers. Polls show widespread public supportanother reason Swift and other politicians across the country have embraced the issue.Still not everyones wild about the idea. People without children question why new parentsthe first group to get paid leave under many of the proposed plansshould get more government perks than they do. Business groups are resistant to proposals that would raid unemployment funds; several have already filed suit to block them. As the economy slows, many companies say they cant afford to contribute to proposed new benefit funds either. Business lobbyists say too many employees already abuse existing federal family-leave laws by taking time off for dubious reasons or in tiny time increments. The proposed laws, they say, would only make matters worse.For Garro and Duplisea, though, the new laws could make all the difference. As Melina fixes a peanut-butter-and-
