A chronic serious health condition under FMLA must require which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Treatment visits at least twice per year over a period of time

A chronic serious health condition requires at least two visits per year to a healthcare provider and causes periodic episodes of incapacity.

Question 3

Which standard applies when a physician certifies that a patient's condition is 'permanent or long-term' with no effective treatment?

Accepted Answer

Permanent/long-term condition prong

Answer

FMLA's permanent or long-term condition prong covers conditions like Alzheimer's or terminal cancer where the patient is under supervision but treatment may not work.

Question 4

An employee is absent for four days with the flu and sees a doctor once. Does this meet the FMLA serious health condition standard?

Incapacity of more than three days alone is insufficient; the continuing treatment prong also requires two or more treatment visits or a regimen of continuing treatment.

Question 5

Which form is used by an employer to certify FMLA leave when the employee is caring for a covered family member?

Accepted Answer

WH-380-F (Family Member's Serious Health Condition)
