FMLA Leave to Care for an Injured Service Member. An eligible nurse is entitled to up to twenty-six (26) weeks of unpaid leave during any single 12-month period to care for a spouse, son, daughter, parent or next of kin with a serious injury or illness when the injury or illness is incurred by an active duty member of the military while in the line of duty. A covered service member is a member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National Guard or Reserves, who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation or therapy, is otherwise in outpatient status, or is otherwise on the temporary disability retired list for a serious injury or illness. The single twelve (12) month period begins on the first day the employee takes leave for this reason and ends twelve (12) months later. An eligible nurse is limited to a combined total of twenty-six (26) weeks of leave for any FMLA-qualifying reason during the single twelve (12) month period. Only twelve (12) of the twenty-six (26) week total may be used for an FMLA-qualifying reason other than to care for a covered service member. This provision shall be administered in accordance with U.S. Department of Labor regulations.
