I received permission to teach from home this semester (I teach at a university) using TEAMS for lecturing and have intermittent FMLA for the next year. I haven't used the FMLA yet, though, because of the hit I will take with nothing going into my retirement. If I could, I would try to retire now but cannot afford to do that. I am in New Mexico.
