It won't make up for a normal paycheck but it's not insignificant especially in the type of situations that qualify for FMLA.

Ny is now 12 weeks of paid family leave. Max benefit for that (based on income) is over $11k. You can also work part time instead, and drop leave one day at a time. Typically 50 days worth, but I’ve seen as high as 60. Imagine 50-60 guaranteed days off, every holiday, vacation, for a year, and of course as needed childcare/baby bonding. Worth way more than the money they give you.
