I am applying for disability and have some unused accrued sick leave days. May I add these days as additional service credit if I am approved for disability retirement?
A No. The law does not allow the addition of service credit for unused accrued sick leave if you are approved for disability. The law only allows the addition of unused accrued sick leave if a member is eligible for retirement (has at least 25 years of service or is age 60 with at least 10 years of service) and applying for service retirement.
