[quote=Anonymous]DC residents who work for the Feds or in VA or MD are eligible [i]if[/i] they pay into the fund. They can choose to participate or not. If they don't pay in, they cannot get any benefits. Non DC residents who work for the Feds in DC also have the option to pay into the fund. If they do not pay into the fund, they cannot use the benefit. So, let's calm down. DC is not expecting a handful of business to fund this entire thing and allow a bunch of freeloaders to take advantage. As a frequent critic of the ineptitude and other glaring flaws on the DC Council, I must say I'm extremely proud to see DC at the forefront of this. It's about time Americans get on board with the paid leave every other country in the world offers. I hope this passes and we see the rest of the country follow suit. It's inexcusable that the United States is so far behind the rest of the world on this.[/quote]
