INSTRUCTIONS TO THE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
The employee listed on Page 1 has requested leave under the FMLA to care for a family member who is a current member of the Regular
Armed Forces, the National Guard, or the Reserves who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, is otherwise in outpatient
status, or is otherwise on the temporary disability retired list for a serious injury or illness.
For purposes of FMLA Leave, a serious injury or illness is one that was incurred in the line of duty on active duty in the Armed Forces or that
existed before the beginning of the member's active duty and was aggravated by service in the line of duty on active duty in the Armed Forces
that may render the servicemember medically unfit to perform the duties of his or her office, grade, rank, or rating.
A complete and sufficient certification to support a request for FMLA leave due to a current servicemember's serious injury or illness includes
written documentation confirming that the servicemember's injury or illness was incurred in the line of duty on active duty or if not, that the
current servicemember's injury or illness existed before the beginning of the servicemember's active duty and was aggravated by service in the
line of duty on active duty in the Armed Forces, and that the current servicemember is undergoing treatment for such injury or illness by a
healthcare provider listed above.
Answer, fully and completely, all applicable parts. Several questions seek a response as to the frequency or duration of a condition, treatment,
etc. Your answer should be your best estimate based upon your medical knowledge, experience, and examination of the patient. Be as specific
as you can; terms such as "lifetime," "unknown," or "indeterminate" may not be sufficient to determine FLMLA coverage. Limit your responses
to the servicemember's condition for which the employee is seeking leave. Do not provide information about genetic tests, or genetic services.
PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY OR TYPE. SIGN THE FORM ON THE LAST PAGE (PAGE 3)

"Need for care" encompasses both physical and psychological care. It includes situations where, for example, due to his or her serious injury or illness, the servicemember
is unable to care for his or her own basic medical, hygienic, or nutritional needs or safety, or is unable to transport him or herself to the doctor. It also includes providing
psychological comfort and reassurance which would be beneficial to the servicemember who is receiving inpatient or home care.
