The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was signed into federal law 30 years ago in 1993. It allows employees to take leave from their employers without the worry of losing their jobs for medical and family reasons. The FMLA applies to any employers that are government agencies, including public schools as well as private employers with 50 or more employees. There are a number of conditions that apply to taking leave under the FMLA and these may affect the person’s ability to apply for social security disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
