H.R.4351

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.

Introduced·7/10/25

Reduces qualifying employment time for spouses of active duty military members to take leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.

The bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to lower the employment period requirement for a spouse of an active duty member of the Armed Forces to take leave. Instead of the current requirement, the spouse must have been employed by the employer for at least 90 calendar days to be eligible for leave. This change aims to provide more flexibility and support to military families during times of active duty service.
