Reasons for Leave - Definition of a Qualifying Child

Based on your selections, it appears the family member meets the definition of a qualifying family member under the FMLA.

REMEMBER:
If an adult son or daughter is determined to be incapable of self-care because of a disability, he or she will be considered a "son or daughter" under the FMLA. In order for a parent to take FMLA leave to care for an adult child, the son or daughter must also:

1. have a serious health condition, and
2. need care because of the serious health condition.

Continue to Serious Health Condition or Return to Reasons for Leave.

Note: The FMLA also provides specific definitions of son or daughter for purposes of the military leave provisions of the FMLA. These terms are included in the Glossary.
