In plain language
- The proposal grants foster parents the same time-credit rights as biological parents and extends care leaves even if they no longer live under the same roof.
- This applies to long-term foster parents and adult foster children who lived in the foster family for at least two years.
- You will be able to take leave to care for your foster child, and you and your (former) foster child or foster parent can take leave to care for each other during serious illness.
