To deem certain individuals as parents of Department of Veterans Affairs employees for purposes of determining entitlement to certain family and medical leave for such employees.

This bill expands family and medical leave eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs employees by recognizing the parents of their spouses as their parents for leave purposes. It directly affects VA employees who may need to take leave to care for their spouse's parents, allowing them to access the same leave benefits they would receive for their own parents. The legislation treats the spouse's parents as the employee's parents when determining eligibility for leave under specific federal statutes. This change applies to full-time VA employees in designated positions and uses existing definitions for employee and parent status from federal law.
