HR 4351 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to reduce the qualifying time for a spouse of an active duty member of the Armed Forces to take leave.

HR 4351 amends the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to shorten the employment duration required for spouses of active-duty military members to qualify for leave. It reduces the qualifying time from 12 months to 90 calendar days with the employer. This change directly affects spouses of service members on covered active duty, making it easier for them to access FMLA leave for their partner’s military service. The bill achieves this by revising the FMLA’s definition of "eligible employee" to include this new 90-day requirement for military spouses.
