Military Exigency in Paid Family Leave Final Legislation
Workers can receive Connecticut Paid Leave income replacement benefits if they are taking military family leave, either for military caregiver leave or qualifying exigency leave. Military caregiver leave is taken by a spouse, parent, child, or next of kin to care for a covered service member who incurred a serious injury or illness in the line of duty on active duty in the Armed Forces. "Armed Services" include the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force or any reserve component thereof, including the Connecticut National Guard performing federal military duty as provided in Title 32 of the United States Code.
