Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 94

Which law provides employee benefits, but often mandates the collection of medical information?

Answer options

• A. The Occupational Safety and Health Act.
• B. The Americans with Disabilities Act.
• C. The Employee Medical Security Act.
• D. The Family and Medical Leave Act.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is designed to provide employees with benefits related to medical leave, which often necessitates the collection of medical information to validate the need for leave. The Occupational Safety and Health Act focuses on workplace safety, the Americans with Disabilities Act addresses discrimination against individuals with disabilities, and the Employee Medical Security Act is not a widely recognized law, making them incorrect in this context.
