                November 28, 1995


                The Honorable Bob Filner
                Member, United States
                House of Representatives
                333 F Street, Suite A
                Chula Vista, CA 91910

                Dear Mr. Filner:

                This further responds to your August 8, 1995, letter on behalf of Ms. Corazon Trilles
                (your case #4381), which enclosed a copy of a July 26, 1995, letter to your office
                from Ms. Trilles requesting reconsideration of our Claims Group settlement,
                Z-2869660, July 11, 1995, denying Ms. Trilles's request for reinstatement of her
                nonappropriated fund leave accrual, lost incident to her employment with an
                appropriated fund activity.

                Neither the facts nor the law are in dispute. Ms. Trilles resigned from her
                employment with the Navy Exchange, a nonappropriated fund activity in San Diego,
                California, on Tuesday, November 13, 1990, to accept a civilian position with the
                Department of Defense at the Naval Hospital in San Diego, an appropriated fund
                position, effective the following Monday, November 19, which resulted in a 6-day
                break in service. Prior to November 5, 1990, there was no authority to permit an
                employee to carry leave accrued in a nonappropriated fund position with him or her
                upon employment in an appropriated fund position. However, shortly before
                Ms. Trilles began her employment at the Naval Hospital, on November 5, 1990, a
                statutory change was enacted to permit employees of nonappropriated fund
                activities to transfer their accrued sick and annual leave balances to positions in the
                Department of Defense or Coast Guard if the employee moves to the new position
                without a break in service of more than 3 days. 5 U.S.C. § 6308(b). As Ms. Trilles
                acknowledges, since her service break exceeded 3 days, under this law, she is not
                entitled to have her accrued leave from her former position reinstated to her
                current leave accounts.
