[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's a part of the FY21 legislation, then it should have an enactment date included in the Bill.  I haven't seen the language anywhere, but in my experience, most legislation takes over a year to implement - so if you're pregnant now it probably won't help you this round. . . [/quote]

I'm not sure this would actually be the case. Obviously, this would depend on the language in the bill, but this is spending authorization bill, and the money for spending is for next year I believe? But I could be wrong. [/quote]

It's a spending authorization bill - but the Act enacting the legislation is not dependent on yearly authorization any more than anything else that the government needs money to do.

That said - devil in the details - but I think it's entirely possible that you could be eligible for it up to a year after the birth of the child, as long as there is still within the year of birth, similar to FMLA.[/quote]

It's possible, but based on the House language it's unlikely.  That provision would have only provided benefits for babies born or adopted Oct. 1 or later.  I doubt the agreed on language is more generous, but I haven't seen it, yet.[/quote]
