The Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Coast Guard announced Tuesday that the maternity leave policy for members of the U.S. Coast Guard has been increased from six weeks to up to 12 weeks for mothers, following the birth of their child. This is consistent with the policy announced by the Secretary of Defense last week for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.
