New Federal Rule Will Extend Medical Leave Rights To Same-Sex Couples In All States

Starting March 27, legally married same-sex couples will be able to take unpaid time off to care for a spouse or sick family members even if they live in a state that doesn't recognize their marriage. The final rule issued by the Department of Labor revises the definition of "spouse" in the Family and Medical Leave Act to recognize legally married same-sex couples regardless of where they live.
