Summary

Existing law establishes within the state disability insurance program a family temporary disability insurance program, also known as the Paid Family Leave program, for the provision of wage replacement benefits to workers who take time off work to care for a seriously ill family member or to bond with a minor child within one year of birth or placement, as specified, and, on and after January 1, 2021, to take time off to participate in a qualifying exigency related to the covered active duty or call to covered active duty of the individuals' spouse, domestic partner, child, or parent in the Armed Forces of the United States. Existing law defines terms for paid family leave purposes, including defining the terms "care recipient," "care provider," and "family care leave." This bill would revise those definitions for the purpose of the qualifying exigency provisions. The bill would define "military member" for the purpose of that term's use in those revised definitions. Existing law requires certain documentation of a qualifying exigency, including a copy of new active duty orders or other documentation issued by the military as required by the department if the need for leave because of a qualifying exigency arises out of a different covered active duty or call to covered active duty or notification of an impending call or order to covered active duty of the same or a different family member. This bill would provide that the new documentation requirement would apply to a need for leave because of a qualifying exigency arising out of those described circumstances with respect to the same or a different eligible family member.
