Re: family member
This is a question you have to discuss with someone in your company.
You can do it without telling them why you're asking. Just get a copy of the policy and if you have any questions, consult a local attorney.
There is also plenty of on-line information,--you might have the become her legal guardian (if you haven't already, definitely look into this) in order for the law to apply to you.
