When a supervisor requires verification for serious health-related family leave, which form may be requested?

• A. WH 380 Certification of Health Care Provider
• B. FMLA Certification Form
• C. Doctor's Verification
• D. Health Care Provider Documentation

Answer: (A)

Certification of Health Care Provider is the official document used to verify a serious health condition for FMLA leave. When a supervisor asks for verification, this form, completed by a health care provider, provides the necessary medical facts, prognosis, and the expected duration of the condition and leave. It also includes the provider’s contact information and signature to validate the certification. This standard form is specifically designed for FMLA medical certification, which is why it’s the best choice. Other labels like a generic FMLA form or broad “doctor’s verification” aren’t the standardized document used for this purpose, and the phrase Health Care Provider Documentation isn’t the formal form used for certification.
