This would be a matter for the State Labor Board, I think. I just about imagine there is no real law about this, but you might check your state's web site just to see.

In the UK, then the new Working Time Directive states that a minimum of twenty minutes should be given for every 6 hours, but that this should not be at the beginning or end of the shift.
Local terms and conditions cannot be less than this but will frequently be more.

this is from the citizens advice bureau site:-
# hours and rests. Nearly all workers have the right not to have to work for more than 48 hours on average, a week. Night workers cannot work an average of more than eight hours in each 24 hour period. Workers aged 18 and over (adult workers) are entitled to one day off each week. Workers aged 16-18 (adolescent workers) are entitled to two days off each week. Adult workers are entitled to eleven hours consecutive rest per day, and a minimum 20 minute rest break if their working day is longer than six hours. Adolescent workers are entitled to 12 hours consecutive rest per day, and a minimum 30 minute rest break if they work for longer than four and a half hours. Hope this helps

The Department of Labor has no requirements for breaks.
Some states have their own requirements and because you did not tell us where you live and work, there is no way we can help you.
It is a fallacy (false belief) that the federal government mandates employers to give breaks, they don't.

If you are getting paid for the whole 12.5 hours then they dont have to give you a paid break.

We get three breaks totalling an hour. I don't work in care, but on feet all day.
