Labor, Employment and Benefits: Alert - November 10, 2009

On October 28, 2009, President Obama signed into law a Defense Department Fiscal Year 2010 authorization bill that expands the Family and Medical Leave Act’s (FMLA) requirements with respect to “qualifying exigency leave” for family of military members and “military caregiver leave.” Specifically, qualifying exigency leave now applies to employees who have family members on active duty military service in a foreign country, and military caregiver leave applies to family members of veterans, not just active duty service members. Although the law does not specify an effective date, it appears to take effect immediately.

Government Contracts: Alert - November 12, 2009

On November 30, 2009, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Graham County Soil & Water Conservation District v. United States ex rel. Wilson, a qui tam action brought under the False Claims Act (FCA) and appealed from a Fourth Circuit decision. The Court will use the case to resolve a split among the circuits over the scope of the FCA's "public disclosure" bar. A decision affirming the Fourth Circuit could increase qui tam litigation against any organization that does business with, or receives federal money through, federal, state and local governmental entities – and would further expand the reach of the FCA to any state or local program involving the use of federal funds.
