Foster Children

reh · May 2003

We have an employee who has requested leave for a serious health condition that involves his foster son. The foster son is having open heart surgury and the employee has submitted the Medical Certification Statement from the foster child's physician. The employee meets the requirements for FMLA leave (1250 hours, etc.) Would this qualify for FMLA leave?? Thanks.

Foster Children are covered.

As long as there is paperwork stating that your employee has legal custody of the child, it is covered.
