When people think of paid family and medical leave, they often think of parents taking time off to bond with their newborns. As important as that is, an often-overlooked group that also urgently needs a robust system of paid leave is older Americans — even those who are retired.

Congress and President Joe Biden need to turn into law the legislative proposal for paid family leave when they hammer out the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package now in negotiations.

For older adults who are still in the workforce, paid leave is crucial to manage chronic, as well as acute, health conditions. Such medical concerns can affect workers of all ages, but they're felt disproportionately by older ones, since health almost inevitably deteriorates with age.
