Expanding Paid Family and Medical Leave for All Federal Employees.
This legislation significantly broadens paid leave rights for federal government employees, extending coverage beyond just childbirth or adoption to include serious personal health conditions, caring for sick family members, and military exigencies. This ensures federal workers have greater financial stability and time off during critical life events. The changes apply across numerous agencies, including the Postal Service, Congress, and DC courts.
Key points
Federal paid leave (12 weeks) is expanded to cover all major Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) reasons, including an employee's own serious illness or caring for a sick family member.
The expansion applies to employees of USPS, Congress, GAO, the Library of Congress, and DC courts, standardizing benefits across the federal sector.
Eligibility requires 12 months of service, which now explicitly includes active duty service in the National Guard or Reserves.
