There are nearly 2.6 million family caregivers across <span class=\"xn-location\">New York<\/span> who provide care valued at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/content\/dam\/aarp\/ppi\/2015\/valuing-the-invaluable-2015-update-new.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">over $31 billion<\/a> annually. Many struggle to balance work and caregiving every day. This new law will help ease that strain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And it will help family caregivers help their loved ones age at home, rather than in far costlier and mostly taxpayer-funded institutional care settings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AARP&#8217;s campaign will include a livestreamed town hall the evening of <span class=\"xn-chron\">November 28<\/span> at the ABC studios in <span class=\"xn-location\">Manhattan<\/span>, a live broadcast, and a community affairs radio segment in January. It will also include digital ads as well as television and radio commercials airing throughout the fall and into 2018 from <span class=\"xn-location\">Buffalo<\/span> to <span class=\"xn-location\">Brookhaven<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign will provide information to working New Yorkers about whether they might qualify and the benefits they would receive if they take time off to care for a sick family member or newborn or to accommodate the military requirements of a family member. More information about the law is available at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aarp.org\/nypaidleave\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.aarp.org\/nypaidleave<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Family caregivers spend roughly <span class=\"xn-money\">$5,500<\/span> per year out of pocket for food, travel, transportation, medical insurance co-pays, medications and other costs to care for loved ones, according to the National Alliance for Caregiving. And <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.metlife.com\/assets\/cao\/mmi\/publications\/studies\/2011\/Caregiving-Costs-to-Working-Caregivers.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">the average caregiver loses over $300,000<\/a>, conservatively, in wages, pension and Social Security benefits as a result of caregiving responsibilities, MetLife reported.<\/p>\n<p>At first, the new law will provide up to half a worker&#8217;s pay. The benefit increases gradually to up to 12 weeks in 2021 and up to two thirds the worker&#8217;s pay.<\/p>\n<p>Logo &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/606263\/AARP_NY_logo_Logo.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/606263\/AARP_NY_logo_Logo.jpg<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  AARP New York<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">NEW YORK<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">Nov. 16, 2017<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212;\u00a0AARP is taking to the airwaves to make sure working New Yorkers know they can start taking advantage of the state&#8217;s new paid family leave law beginning <span class=\"xn-chron\">January 1<\/span>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prni_dvprnejpg3b3aleft\">&lt;img id=&quot;prnejpg3b3aleft&quot; title=&quot; &quot; style=&quot;HEIGHT: 139px; WIDTH: 400px&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot; &quot; align=&quot;middle&quot;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58325,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-familia-y-vida"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
