The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year for specified family and medical reasons, including the placement of a child in foster care. Upon return from FMLA leave, employees are entitled to be restored to their original job or to an equivalent one with equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. Social Security, the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and high-deductible health plans do not provide this type of leave or job protection.
