Expanding support for caregivers

John — Did you know that currently under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) almost half of caregivers do not qualify for leave? This gap in policy puts caregivers between a rock and a hard place, often forcing them to sacrifice earnings to do the tough job of caring for a loved…
