My jurisdiction is: Indiana
My FMLA 12-month leave period measured forward from the date of my first FMLA leave ends on October 24, 2009. I have taken only 42 hours intermittently of FMLA leave in the period of time from 10/24/08 to present. I have been told by my physician that I will need further treatment for the same illness for a 4 week period every six months for the next two years. Will I be eligible for an extension of my FMLA for the same illness? Do I reapply for FMLA benefits? Will I get a full 12 weeks of leave again on 10/25/2009?
