handle is hein.gao/gaobadkzb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE comPTROLLER OENr-ERAL.,J, DECISION OF THE UNITER STATES@ WAS H INGTON. 0.C. 20548 FILE: B-209769 DATE: March 28, 1983 MATTER OF: John H. Adams DIGEST: Employee, who after 20 years of military service retired and was employed in a Federal civilian agency in 1976, appeals the denial of his claim for recredit of leave available at the time he left his civilian employment and entered military service in 1955. In the absence of official records or corroborating evidence, the employee's estimate alone is insufficient to certify a prior leave balance upon reemployment in a civilian position. By letter of October 19, 1982, John H. Adams appealed. our Claims Group's settlement issued June 22, 1982, which denied his claim for recredit of sick leave to his credit at the time he entered on active duty in the military in 1955. The action of the Claims Group is sustained since Government records do not show, and Mr. Adams has not verified, the number of hours of leave to his credit at the time of his entrance on active duty. On July 12, 1955, Mr. Adams, then an employee of the Post Office, Washington, D.C., entered on active duty with the United States Air Force. He was granted a military furlough by the Post Office effective that date which was subsequently converted to a separation on June 20, 1960, when Mr. Adams indicated his intention to remain in the Air Force. Mr. Adams retired from the Air Force on June 30, 1976, and was employed by the Environmental Protection Agency. Under applicable regulations, 5 C.F.R. 630.504, he was entitled to restoration of leave to his credit at the time he entered on active duty. However, the Post Office did not prepare the appropriate form (SF-1150) at the time of his separation in 1960 to indicate the amount of leave, if any, Mr. Adams had to his credit at the time he entered on active duty in 1955. A search of Government records produced no documentary evidence of the amount of leave he may have had to his credit in 1955, nor has Mr. Adams been able to furnish any such evidence. His claim was denied by the Claims Group for insufficient proof.
