This bill says that, for certain Veterans Affairs employees, a parent of the employee's spouse will be treated as the employee's parent when deciding if the employee can get family and medical leave under 5 U.S.C. 6382(a)(1)(C). The rule applies to employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs, including certain full-time Veterans Health Administration appointments listed in 38 U.S.C. 7421(b). The bill also says the terms "employee" and "parent" have the meanings given in 5 U.S.C. 6381 and that this change applies notwithstanding 38 U.S.C. 7421 or other law.
If you are a covered VA employee, this bill would make a spouse's parent count as your parent for the specific purpose of determining eligibility for the family and medical leave entitlement referenced in 5 U.S.C. 6382(a)(1)(C). It does not by itself change other definitions or benefits beyond that eligibility determination.
