Building a flexible paid family and medical leave program with API technology

A case study documenting how a modular API layer was built to support a state-level paid family and medical leave program, improving interoperability, scalability, and user experience.

This case study describes how the service partnered with a state agency to design, build, and launch an API-driven infrastructure that connects multiple benefit systems, websites, and databases to streamline applicant workflows and benefit delivery.

It outlines how the API layer reduced administrative burden (e.g., faster authentication at call centers), empowered agency staff with real-time data, and enabled continuous improvement—resulting in a more accessible, reliable, and future-resilient program.
