Q: The Department of Labor (DOL), recently released new forms for Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Has anything changed on the forms and am I required to use them?

A: The changes made to the forms were formatting. The DOL has stated the forms are simpler and easier for employees , employers, leave administrators and health care professionals and may be completed electronically.  The information being collected on the form has not changed. Therefore, you are not required to use the new forms.  See Frequently Asked Questions #1 about the FMLA Forms.

Q: Can we make changes to the FMLA Forms?
You may make changes to the forms, however, you cannot request any information beyond what is specified in the FML Regulations .

Q: Can we use these forms for leave under Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)?
