Update: Appeal Filed on Companionship Exemption

Late Breaking News

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, last week, in the lawsuit brought by associations of home care companies challenging the Home Care Final Rule. This is in response to earlier decisions in which the U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued an opinion and order in the Home Care Association of America v. Weil, Civil Action No. 14-967 (D.D.C.), vacating DOL’s Final Rule regarding the companionship exemption. We will continue to closely monitor this issue and keep members abreast of any further developments.
