MATTER OF:     James Andrews -- Restoration of forfeited
                annual leave

DIGEST:         Employee who applies for disability
                retirement effective December 31,
                1974, and requests LWOP between
                January 1 and January 11, 1975, the
                end of the leave year in order to be
                off the rolls by January 1, 1975, to
                qualify for a larger annuity would
                not be entitled to payment under
                5 U.S.C. 9 6304 since the forfeiture
                of annual leave was by operation of
                5 U.S.C. 5551(a).


     This advance decision is rendered in response to a request
received on August 15, 1975, from Captain J.D. Driskill, United
States Air Force, Accounting and Finance Officer Comptroller
Division, 803d Combat Support Group (SAC), Davis-Monthan Air Force
Base, Arizona 85707. Captain Driskill has asked our decision on
a claim by Mr. James Andrews, formerly a civilian employee at Davis-
Monthan Air Force Base, for restoration of 56 hours of accrued
annual leave which were forfeited and a lump-sum settlement
therefor.

     Mr. Andrews is a former employee of the Military Aircraft
Storage and Disposition Center which issued notice to its employees
during February 1974 that there would be a stand down from
normal operations from December 22 through December 31, 1974.
Mr. Andrews had tentatively scheduled annual leave to be taken
during the stand down period.

     Mr. Andrews entered sick leave status on August 19, 1974, and
remained in a combination of sick and annual leave status until
3:15 p.m. on December 31, 1974. He requested that he be placed on
leave-without-pay (LWOP) status effective after the workday of
December 31, 1974, thus preserving his right to an increased pen-
sion in anticipation of a disability retirement for which he had
also applied. Mr. Andrews remained on LWOP status from that time
until his disability retirement was approved on February 24, 1975,
to be effective as of January 1, 1975.
