Who is considered a family member?

These are the family members that qualify you to take family leave:

• Spouses and domestic partners
• Children (biological, adopted, foster or stepchild)
• Parents and legal guardians (or spouse’s parents)
• Siblings
• Grandchildren
• Grandparents (or spouse’s grandparents)
• Son-in-law and daughter-in-law
• Someone who has an expectation to rely on you for care—whether you live together or not.

We may require documentation about your relationship to the person or certification of their medical need.
