New Leave Accrual guidelines
The portion of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act that authorized members to accrue leave up to 75 days is set to expire 30 September 2015. Effective 01 October 2015, unless Congress extends the authorization between now and then, members will only be allowed to accrue 60 days of leave. At that point, any accrued leave over 60 days will be lost if not used. 
However, members may still qualify for Special Leave Accrual on a case by case basis. The accrued leave increase to 75 days was originally authorized in 2008, as a result of members’ inability to use accrued leave due to deployments and other mission requirements. Members should be cognizant of their leave balances throughout the fiscal year and coordinate any accrued leave over 60 days through the appropriate channels. Otherwise, they may risk losing up to 15 days of ordinary leave should Congress not extend the authorization.
