There are more than 1.3 million active duty service men and women in the military branches of our country. In Connecticut there are more than 7,000 serving and 5000 more serving in the Guard. That's a lot of families who are effected by their duty to their country. Active duty military members can focus on their job, while Connecticut Paid Leave can focus on their families.
There are two types of military benefit programs under CT Paid Leave just for the family members. One is military caregiver leave and the other is qualifying exigency leave. Both are explained in this episode by host Nancy Barrow and her guest the Connecticut Commissioner of the Department of Veterans affairs, Thomas Saadi. Commissioner Saadi talks about the great need for these programs for the family members, who serve in their own way.
This episode includes Commissioner Saadi's vision for the department, which is to focus more on military families.
