Veterans must be able to establish that they suffer from a qualifying serious injury or illness without having to rely on the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) or on their ability to fulfill occupational requirements. The documentation that employers may require of family members of active duty service members who are seeking qualified exigency leave should explicitly allow family members to supply a letter from the service members command.

The Department should ensure that gay and lesbian service members have equal access to family care by amending the definition of next of kin. The Department should explicitly note that all FMLA regulations are interpreted to include the children of parents standing in loco parentis and should ensure consistent and uniform administration of these new FMLA provisions. Veterans whose family members would have qualified for caregiver leave but for the fact that regulations had not yet been promulgated should be given a special dispensation so that they can take leave to care for veterans who still need such assistance. The Department should insert language identifying the discharge date provided on form DD-214 as the date when the veteran officially transitioned from being an active duty service member. Support S.3220, the Paycheck Fairness Act. Support collective bargaining. Oppose Rand (KY) amendment to S. 1789. Support project labor agreements.
