FAQ

Caring for a family member under the FMLA includes assistance with basic medical, hygienic, nutritional, safety, transportation needs, physical care, or psychological comfort. An FMLA serious health condition generally involves a period of incapacity.

If you are completing form WH-380-F, you will be required to provide information about the family member you are caring for during FMLA leave; such as their full name, your relationship to one another, and a description of your methods for providing care for that person.

A qualifying family member is a child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered domestic partner. Note: More than one person can be the caregiver, but you can only receive benefit payments for the days and hours you are the primary caregiver.

An employee may be required by the employer to submit a certification from a health care provider to support the need for FMLA leave to care for a covered family member with a serious health condition or for the employee's own serious health condition.

If an employee fails to timely submit a properly requested medical certification (absent sufficient explanation of the delay), FMLA protection for the leave may be delayed or denied. If the employee never provides a medical certification, then the leave is not FMLA leave.

Family caregiving is the act of providing at-home care for a relative, friend, or other loved one with a physical or mental health problem.
