MATTER OF:       Edgar K. Epp - Accrual of Anndal Leave -
                 Temporary Disability Retired List

DIGEST:
         A former member of the United States Navy
         who was separated from the service with
         disability severance pay (10 U.S.C. S 1212),
         has been a civilian employee of the govern-
         ment since 1960. At the time of civilian
         appointment, he was credited with 6 years,
         6 months and 10 days of military years of
         service for annul leave accrual purposes
         (5 U.S.C. S 6303), which included 3 years,
         7 months and 10 days of time spent on the
         Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL).
         The TDRL time is not properly creditable
         for this purpose. Under 5 U.S.C. S 6303(a),
         and 5 U.S.C. S 8332(c)(1)(A), while military
         service is creditable, the term military
         service is defined in 5 U.S.C. S 8331(13)
         to mean honorable active service. Since
         placement of a military member's name on
         the TDRL list removes his name from the
         active duty list, he is in a retirement
         status during that time. Therefore, the
         employee's civilian service computation
         date must be reestablished and his annual
         leave balance adjusted.

      This decision is in response to a request from the
 Chief, Personnel Management Office, Bureau of Reclamation,
 Department of the Interior. The question involves the
 proper crediting of military service time for civil service
 annual leave accrual and retirement purposes in the case of
 Mr. Edgar K. Epp.

                       BACKGROUND

      Mr. Epp entered onto active duty in the United States
 Navy on May 31, 1951. As a result of a service-connected
 injury, he was transferred to the Temporary Disability
 Retired List (TDRL), effective May 1, 1954. At that time,
 he had performed 2 years, 11 months and 0 days of active
 duty. On December 10, 1957, his name was removed from the
