Leave paid for by a state counts for the policy but not for the credit
What the document says“shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of the paid family and medical leave credit under subsection (a).”
The section provides that leave paid by a State or local government or required by State or local law counts in working out how much paid family and medical leave the employer provides, but does not count in working out the amount of the credit.
What the document actually says“shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of the paid family and medical leave credit under subsection (a).”
Leave the state pays for does not count toward the credit.
It does count toward the leave the employer offers. So it helps the firm qualify. It does not raise the credit itself.
