The U.S. Office of Personnel Management defined "family member," "immediate relative," and related terms in response to the President's June 17, 2009, Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on Federal Benefits and Non-Discrimination. These definitions relate to the use of sick leave, funeral leave, voluntary leave transfer, voluntary leave bank, and emergency leave transfer and expand the categories of individuals for whom a Federal employee may use these types of leave.
