It reduces the cap for special leave accrual from 120 days to 90 days unless service members had more than 90 days as of Dec. 31, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn order to make this change, DFAS implemented a system change to reduce the leave cap for special leave accrual from 120 days to 90 days at the end of September,\u201d Burghardt said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beginning Oct. 1, troops can only accumulate a total of 90 days leave \u2014 60 days of annual leave, plus an extra 30 days under Special Leave Accrual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enlisted troops who could lose accrued leave in excess of 90 days can sell back up to 30 days of their leave, but this action can only be taken once during a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the change, many service members will still have more time to draw their leave balances down without forfeiting their time off, like the soldier who contacted Military Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Service members who amassed between 90.5 and 120 days of leave before the end of 2022 \u2014 due to the pandemic or other approved reasons \u2014 may continue to use that leave according to timelines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2023\/07\/27\/sailors-could-lose-time-off-under-special-leave-accrual-policy-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\">established by their branch of service<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DFAS will continue to operate if there is a government shutdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incorrect leave balances
