Connecticut Paid Leave Authority approves finance manual and private-plan audit-guide revisions
Summary
The board unanimously approved posted revisions to its finance and accounting manual and to the private-plan audit guide, both of which were published for public comment; staff said there were no public comments and the changes are largely technical or preparatory for future notice requirements.
The Connecticut Paid Leave Authority board voted to adopt revisions to its finance and accounting manual and to the private-plan private-plan audit guide during its first 2026 meeting.
At the start of the meeting, board members approved the minutes from Dec. 11, 2025. Michael, staff lead on private-plan policy, told the board the finance-policy and credit-card-policy changes — posted for comment in September — were technical and produced no public comments. "So the ask is for the Board to adopt the same version that you saw back in September," Michael said. Adrian moved to adopt the finance and accounting manual and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Michael then presented proposed revisions to the private-plan audit guide, which had been posted for comment with a closing date of Dec. 26. He said staff recommended one additional internal edit to allow the audit guide to account for future notice requirements, citing Connecticut General Statute 31-49q as the current annual notice the audits include. "What we thought... is potentially other notices that are required, and this is meant to be future looking," Michael said. Justin moved to adopt the audit-guide revisions and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Board materials show staff received no public comments on either set of changes. The adopted revisions will be incorporated into the Authority’s policies and the private-plan audit process; staff said the audit changes are intended to reduce the need for future revisions if new notice requirements are added.
The meeting adjourned at 10:25 a.m.
