Q. When I ETS from the Army, I was allowed 30 days of terminal leave with the remainder of unused  annual leave a forced buyout. I had been unable to take leave due to the needs of the Army.

Because of that I lost almost a month of BAH, specialty pay, etc.

I was told at that time the federal government cannot force more than one buyout of unused annual leave during your federal career.

I am resigning from civilian federal service with a deferred retirement. Can they once again force a buyout of unused annual leave? Can they not allow me to take terminal leave?

A. No, they can’t. The comptroller general of the United States has ruled that federal civilian employees may not take terminal leave.
