We ask that you supply the start date of the leave of absence on the PSC form rather than the date they begin drawing benefits from the Maine PFML program, because it means that our communication reaches the member sooner. If you submit the PSC form checking the option for FMLA, we follow a different process, so if the employee is on ME PFML it is important that you choose the specific option for it.</i></b><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> </p></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(80,0,80)"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000">Thank you,<br>Sherrie Proctor<br>Finance Coordinator<br>M.S.A.D. #61<br>207.647.3048<br>207.647.5682 Fax<br><br>M.S.A.D. #61 Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this message (including any attachments) may contain privileged and/or confidential information protected from disclosure by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
