Why A is correct
The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to up to 12 workweeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period for qualifying reasons, including the birth or adoption of a child, a serious health condition of the employee, or care for a seriously ill family member. During the leave, the employer must continue the employee's group health coverage on the same terms as if the employee were working. FMLA is listed among the federal laws influencing group medical plans examined under AH-III.B.4.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) FMLA leave is unpaid, not paid, and lasts 12 weeks, not 6 months.
- C) Twenty-six weeks applies only to military caregiver leave, not generally, and the leave is unpaid.
- D) Health benefits must continue during FMLA leave, and the protected leave is 12 weeks, not 12 months.
Memory hook
FMLA: 12 weeks, unpaid, job saved, health coverage keeps running.
