Q. I’ve just been offered a job in a federal agency. Because I’m an Army retiree, I’ve been told that I won’t get any credit for that time in determining my annual leave accrual rate.

Q. I’ll soon be retiring. Will I be paid for any holidays that occur during my accrued annual leave? A. Yes. When you retire, your unused annual leave will be projected forward as if you were still on the job working eight hours a day, 40 hours a week and 80 hours a pay period.
Q. I would like to know if the service computation date changes immediately once I begin buying back my time or once I payoff the time? The other question I have is about leave accrual.

Q. I will retire on Jan. 4, 2019. I have 230 hours of annual leave that I want to cash out. How is this done and how much will it be? There are still two more pay periods where I will accrue some leave. Is there a form to be completed?
Q. I applied for Office of Personnel Management disability retirement and I’m currently on leave without pay.

Q. What does Block 19 on my civilian leave and earnings statement mean? What does that number, which goes up on each LES, tell me? I plan to retire in three years at age 69 with just a few months less than 20 years of federal civil service. I’m an Army civilian.
Q. How would 1,134 hours of sick leave be applied to my CSRS retirement? Currently I have 46 years and 10 months of government service. I am 62 years old.

Q. Do service members retiring from the military from overseas locations who take a federal job at that overseas location receive the 360-hour max leave carryover ceiling?
Q. I spent 13 years, 1987-2000, in the national guard, drill weekends and annual training periods. I have been working for the Department of Defense since 2006. Does any of this time count toward my retirement or leave accrual?
