Which form certifies serious injury/illness for military family caregiver leave?

• A. Po-18
• B. Po-21
• C. Po-20
• D. Po-22

Answer: (A)

For military family caregiver leave, the certification of a service member’s serious injury or illness is documented on a form specifically designated for that purpose. Po-18 is the form used to verify that a service member has a serious injury or illness and that family members are needed to provide care. It is completed by the service member’s health care provider and captures key details such as the relationship of the caregiver, the diagnosis or condition, prognosis, and the expected duration of the care needed. This certification is what validates eligibility for the military family caregiver leave under the applicable leave provisions. The other forms are used for different certifications or leave scenarios and do not serve this particular purpose.
