B-194106                             1TE: I b 26, 1980

OF:  Willie W. Louie -  estoration of Annual Leav


  Since 5 U.S.C. 5551(a) authorizing lump-sum
  leave payment contemplates an actual separation
  from Government service and does not apply
  to a transfer such as resignation from an
  agency and reemployment in another agency
  the following day, lump-sum payment to
  employee separated by USIA and appointed by
  Air Force the next day was erroneous, and
  refund requirement of 5 U.S.C. 6306(a) is
  not applicable. In accordance with 5 C.F.R.
  630.501(a) leave should have been recredited
  at time of reemployment and leave forfeited
  as result of failure to recredit leave account
  until lump-sum had been repaid may be restored
  under 5 U.S.C. 6304(d)(1)(A).


     By letter dated October 22, 1979, Lieutenant        2
 Colonel  B.L. Proul, Accounting and Finance Officer,pl7
 Bollina Air Force Base. Department of the Air Force ,
ifas appealed the determination by our Claims Division
on August  7, 1979, that hours of annual leave subject
to  forfeiture should be restored to Mr. Willie W. Louie,
a civilian employee of the Air Force. The Claims Division
found  that the annual leave was forfeited as a result
of administrative error and was for restoration pursuant
to  5 U.S.C. 6304(d)(1)(A). Upon review, the action
of  the Claims Division is sustained.

     The  record shows that Mr. Louie resigned from his
position with the United States Information Agency h
(USIA)  effective June 30, 1974, and that he was
appointed to a position the following day, July 1,
1974, with  the Department of the Air Force at Andrews
Air  Force Base. Incident to his resignation, the USIA
paid him  a lump-sum in the gross amount of $5,136.72
for  392 hours of accrued annual leave and for 16
additional hours  for two holidays which occurred
during  the projected leave period.
