FMLA - is Certification of Healthcare Provider required for maternity leave? [MO]
Starting the FMLA process (Missouri, but remote through PA, does that also impact this in any way?) and confused in this form. I’m the pregnant parent so I can see needing to fill out the medical provider form WH-380-E. However, this statement under the Employer section gives me pause- “you may not request a certification for FMLA leave to bond with a healthy newborn child…” As mom, I’ll still be bonding with my newborn. Do I fill this form out or no? I’m concerned my doctor will fill this out with the standard 6-8 weeks for childbirth and I won’t get the full 12 weeks protected?
