Certification for Serious Injury or Illness of a U.S. Department of Labor
Current Servicemember for Military Caregiver Leave Wage Hour Division
under the Family and Medical Leave Act
DO N
OT SEND COMPLETED FORM TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. OMB Control Number: 1235-0003
RETURN TO THE PATIENT. Expires: 6/30/2023
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides that eligible employees may take FMLA leave to care for a covered
servicemember with a serious illness or injury. The FMLA allows an employer to require an employee seeking FMLA leave
for this purpose to submit a medical certification. 29 U.S.C. §§ 2613, 2614(c)(3). The employer must give the employee at
least 15 calendar days to provide the certification. If the employee fails to provide complete and sufficient certification,
his or her FMLA leave request may be denied. 29 C.F.R. § 825.313. Information about the FMLA may be found on the
WHD website at www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fmla.
SECTION I - EMPLOYER
Either the employee or the employer may complete Section I. While use of this form is optional, it asks the health care
provider for the information necessary for a complete and sufficient medical certification. You may not ask the employee
to provide more information than allowed under the FMLA regulations, 29 C.F.R. § 825.310. Recertifications are
not allowed for FMLA leave to care for a covered servicemember. Where medical certification is requested by an
employer, an employee may not be held liable for administrative delays in the issuance of military documents, despite
the employee's diligent, good-faith efforts to obtain such documents. An employer requiring an employee to submit a
certification for leave to care for a covered servicemember must accept as sufficient certification invitational travel orders
(ITOs) or invitational travel authorizations (ITAs) issued to any family member to join an injured or ill servicemember at
the servicemember’s bedside. An ITO or ITA is sufficient certification for the duration of time specified in the ITO or ITA.
Employers must generally maintain records and documents relating to medical information, medical certifications,
recertifications, or medical histories of employees or employees’ family members created for FMLA purposes as
confidential medical records in separate files/records from the usual personnel files and in accordance with 29 C.F.R. §
1630.14(c)(1), if the Americans with Disabilities Act applies, and in accordance with 29 C.F.R. § 1635.9, if the Genetic
Information Nondiscrimination Act applies.

SECTION II - EMPLOYEE and/or CURRENT SERVICEMEMBER
Please complete all Parts of Section II before having the servicemember’s health care provider complete Section III. The
FMLA allows an employer to require that an employee submit a timely, complete, and sufficient certification to support a
request for FMLA leave due to a serious injury or illness of a covered servicemember. If requested by your employer, your
response is required to obtain or retain the benefit of FMLA-protected leave.

Spouse means a husband or wife as defined or recognized in the state where the individual was married, including a common law
marriage or same-sex marriage. The terms “child” and “parent” include in loco parentis relationships in which a person assumes the
obligations of a parent to a child. An employee may take FMLA leave to care for a covered servicemember who assumed the obligations
of a parent to the employee when the employee was a child. An employee may also take FMLA leave to care for a covered
servicemember for whom the employee has assumed the obligations of a parent. No biological or legal relationship is necessary. “Next

situations where, for example, due to his or her serious injury or illness, the servicemember is not able to care for his or her
own basic medical, hygienic, or nutritional needs or safety, or needs transportation to the doctor. It also includes providing
psychological comfort and reassurance which would be beneficial to the servicemember who is receiving inpatient or home
