Plan would help military families take leave | CNSnews.com: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration proposed new rules Monday to help military families care for service members when they are injured or called to active duty on short notice.
The proposal expands eligibility under the Family and Medical Leave Act, which allows employees to take unpaid leave for certain medical or family emergencies.
First lady Michelle Obama joined Labor Secretary Hilda Solis to announce the plan, which would let caregivers take leave to help family members up to five years after they leave the military. Current law does not cover service members who have left the armed forces.
