Latest Action · June 11, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committees on Veterans' Affairs, and House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Comprehensive Paid Leave for Federal Employees Act expands paid family and medical leave benefits for federal employees covered under civil service law, extending eligibility to employees with at least 12 months of service and creating new leave categories for employees and their family members affected by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, or stalking to address needs like medical treatment, legal services, and safe housing. The bill also broadens parental leave to cover pregnancy loss, failed fertility treatments, and surrogacy arrangements, while requiring employees to sign a work obligation agreement to retain these benefits or face potential recovery of health insurance contributions. The legislation defines "qualifying acts of violence" to include various forms of gender-based violence and establishes that victim services organizations such as shelters, rape crisis centers, and legal aid groups are recognized resources under the law. All provisions of the bill will take effect six months after it is signed into law, giving federal agencies and other covered employers time to implement the new paid leave systems before the benefits become available.
