"When planning for family leave, it's crucial to understand both federal and state benefits available to you. As a single parent, knowing what is available to you is vital, because there isn't a partner that can step in and take leave if you've misunderstood something."
"At the federal level, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year. However, the FMLA has a number of caveats: It only applies to companies with 50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius and requires employees to have worked there at least a year."
"Only 56% of U.S. employees qualify for the FMLA. If you don't, this is when you have to get creative. You may have to use a combination of sick and vacation days and specific programs to assist you, which will vary by state."
