When serious illness or injury strikes, many Californians rely on family members for care. There are over 4 million caregivers of elderly, disabled or chronically ill family members in California. Caregivers of a seriously ill spouse, domestic partner, child or parent may be eligible for family leave. But for workers caring for family members outside these narrow categories – including siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, adult children and parents-in-law – providing care comes at an irreparable cost. When California workers care for a sister with cancer, an adult child injured in a car accident, or a mother-in-law suffering from Alzheimer's, they lose pay and risk job loss to care for their loved ones.
