senate 05/12/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to expand and clarify family and medical leave protections for military families, ensuring that servicemembers, veterans, and their extended family members, including domestic partners, have access to up to 26 weeks of leave to care for serious injuries or illnesses related to military service. This legislation aims to support those who serve and their loved ones by broadening eligibility and leave options under current law.

Military families already get benefits—why expand federal meddling into private employers’ decisions?

Finally, a bill that says caregiving isn’t just a luxury for the wealthy—military families deserve time and respect too.

This bill means more government handouts disguised as ‘family support’; liberty shouldn’t come with extra paperwork.

When military families get the leave they need, everyone's stronger—no political spin required.
