Bill > HR8041

This bill, titled the "Supporting VA Families Act," establishes a new entitlement for employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to receive four administrative weeks of unpaid parental leave within any 12-month period. This leave can be used for the birth of a child and to care for that child, or for the placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care. This entitlement is in addition to any existing leave benefits employees may have under federal law, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and is intended to supplement, not replace, those benefits. The bill defines "employee" and "son or daughter" by referencing existing definitions found in section 6831 of title 5, United States Code, which generally refers to federal employees and their children, including stepchildren and foster children.
