to a qualifying exigency. Several questions in this section seek a response as to the frequency or duration of the qualifying
exigency. Be as specific as you can; terms such as “unknown,” or “indeterminate” may not be sufficient to determine
FMLA coverage. Your response is required to obtain a benefit. 29 CFR 825.310. While you are not required to provide
this information, failure to do so may result in a denial of your request for FMLA leave. Your employer must give you at
