RC Parental Leave not granted

After seeing news here and on the EANGUS website that parental leave would now be available for non-birthing parents, I submitted a request to my CSS to take January Drill off. Our FSS got back to me regarding the request; all non-birthing parent leave is on hold until OSD issues new guidance.

I'll admit that I'm angry and confused by this news. Doesn't this qualify as an entitlement? How can it legally be denied if Congress has approved it? Has anyone else experienced this? How did you/your leadership handle it?

EDIT: My FSS sent me a copy of a memo from Brig Gen Nichols (Dir, NGB/A1) dated 21 Oct 24. It states that the NG is not permitted to implement changes to RCPL until OSD issues guidance.
