The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to care for a new child, such as in Matthew's situation. Upon returning from leave, employers are required to reinstate the employee to their previous position or an equivalent one with similar pay and benefits. Social Security and Medicare do not provide for this type of leave, and the Affordable Care Act focuses primarily on healthcare reform.
