The USA National Security Agency Welfare Department helps our dedicated personnel balance their high-stakes work with family responsibilities by providing reasonable paid or unpaid leave for essential family and medical reasons. We aim to support the legitimate interests of our workforce and promote equal opportunity within our intelligence services.

Agency employees engaged in a variety of official duties are covered under this policy. This includes leaves of absence for active duty, intelligence training, and periods of active service essential to national security, as well as necessary administrative fitness examinations.
