Reimbursement of Advanced Sick Leave

An Accounting and Finance Officer, Travis Air Force Base, requested a decision on reimbursement for advanced sick leave for employee prior to retirement. After retirement, the monetary equivalent of advanced sick leave was collected from accrued annual leave and by setoff from retirement fund. However, since he was disabled at time of retirement, with ample medical documentation, agency may determine that disability caused retirement. In such circumstances, he may be reimbursed for all sick leave.
