 MATTER OF:     Roberto De La Cruz


 DIGEST:

        Federal civilian employees who leave their
        positions to pursue military careers are
        eligible under regulation for a recredit
        of their civil service sick leave after
        their retirement from military service, if
        they are reemployed in a civilian capacity
        by the Government within the following
        3 years. Hence, an individual who left
        civil service employment when called to
        active military duty, and who was subse-
        quently retired from military service
        after completing 20 years' active duty,
        may be allowed a recredit of his civil
        service sick leave balance upon his reem-
        ployment as a civilian 1 year later. The
        fact that he had a 2-month break in ser-
        vice during his military career is imma-
        terial, since only a break in service in
        excess of 3 years could have operated to
        extinguish his leave restoration rights.

     Mr. Roberto De La Cruz requests recredit of civil ser-
vice sick leave he earned during his federal civilian
employment between 1952 and 1962, predicated on his
retirement from military service in 1979 and his reemploy-
ment in a civilian capacity by the Government in 1980. On
the basis of the facts presented, and the applicable federal
regulations, we conclude that Mr. De La Cruz' application
should be approved.

                         Background

     Mr. De La Cruz was a federal civil service employee
between 1952 and 1962. He had previously served 3 years of
military service, and in 1962 he was recalled to active
military duty with the Air Force. He remained on active
duty during the following 17 years until 1979, when he
applied for military retirement based on his completion of
20 years' total active service.
