Commonly Asked Questions About Surrogate Pay in Rhode Island
Why do surrogates get paid in Rhode Island?
Surrogates are not just giving an amazing gift to a deserving family; they are making a significant physical and emotional commitment to do so. Financial compensation is an important way to support surrogates during this journey and ensure they feel valued for their incredible contribution.

Do surrogates have to pay taxes in Rhode Island?
Yes. Your surrogate compensation is your income for the service you’re providing. You’ll pay the standard Rhode Island state income tax on your surrogate pay.
Do surrogates get maternity leave in Rhode Island?
Yes, you're entitled to maternity leave as a surrogate. Under federal law (FMLA), you can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Rhode Island also has its own Parental and Family Medical Leave Act, which provides up to 13 weeks of leave.
However, whether your maternity leave is paid depends on your employer's policies. If you need to take unpaid leave and will lose wages during your recovery, we can factor that lost income into your surrogate compensation package
Do surrogates still get paid if they miscarry?
Surrogate miscarriages are uncommon, but they can happen. As a surrogate, you will be paid for the time you were pregnant. You and the parents will then need to work out whether or not to try again with the surrogacy process.
