Oregon Paid Leave and Colorado FAMLI both let a self-employed person - a dancer working for herself, a creator, a performer - opt in, for an initial three years, paying a share of the premium on their own earnings. Colorado 2026: 0.88% of earnings, half paid by the worker; 90% of the average weekly wage up to half the state average ($1,608.91 from July 2026), 50% above, up to $1,448.02 a week. Oregon: 1% of earnings, 60% paid by the worker; 100% of the average weekly wage up to 65% of the state average, 50% above, up to $1,692.16 a week (120% of the state average) from June 2026.

Once you opt in you report your earnings each quarter and pay the premium on them. Coverage runs at least three years; you cannot leave it sooner.
