Under the Family and Medical Leave Act, who is eligible to take leave to care for a member of the Armed Forces?

Only the spouse
Spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin
Only parents and children
Any relative

The correct answer is: Spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin

Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible individuals are allowed to take leave to care for a service member who is a family member. Specifically, the Act recognizes a broader definition of who qualifies as a family member in the context of caring for a member of the Armed Forces. This includes the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of the service member. This broader eligibility is intended to provide support for families dealing with the unique challenges that can arise when a service member is injured or experiences a serious health condition. By including a variety of relatives, the FMLA ensures that those who play a significant role in the service member's life can provide necessary care and support during critical times. The other options limit the eligible caregivers to specific relationships, which would not align with the FMLA’s intent to provide comprehensive support to military families.
