DOL Clarifies FMLA "Son or Daughter" Definition Where No Legal or Biological Relationship Exists
The Department of Labor (DOL) issued an Administrator's Interpretation (No. 2010-3) on June 22, 2010, which clarified the definition of "son or daughter" under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
The Administrator's Interpretation is relevant to employees who seek to take leave as in loco parentis parents or children. These are parental, but not formalized, relationships where the employee either assumes obligations of a parent (to an in loco parentis child) or was the child in the relationship (now requesting leave for an in loco parentis parent), and can include individuals in same-sex relationships; The Interpretation indicates that an employee in the in loco parentis relationship can take FMLA leave to care for the child, regardless of a legal or biological relationship.
The DOL also provided new guidance that an employee who intends to raise a child can take FMLA leave to bond with the newborn or newly-placed child, even without a legal or biological relationship.
