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.

The bill would expand family and medical leave eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs employees by deeming the parent of an employee’s spouse as a parent of the employee for leave determination purposes. This change would allow VA employees to take leave to care for their in-laws under the same provisions that apply to caring for their own parents. The bill applies specifically to VA employees, including those in the Veterans Health Administration, and relies on existing definitions of "employee" and "parent" from federal leave law. It overrides any conflicting provisions, including section 7421 of title 38, to ensure this expanded eligibility is enforced.
