FMLA leave for military caregivers

Thursday, September 24, 2009 by Robert S. Rifkin

FMLA regulations which went into effect this year provide that an eligible employee may take up top 26 workweeks of leave during a 12-month period to care for a family member who is a covered service member with an injury or illness incurred in the line of duty.  The employee's family member must be undergoing medical treatment, recuperation or therapy or be in an outpatient status or be on a temporary disability retirement list because of an injury or illness incurred in the line of active duty.  The injury or illness must render the member medically unfit to perform the duties of the member's office, grade or rank.
