FERS Sick Leave Retirement – Unused Sick Leave Will Increase FERS Pension for Life

All unused sick leave is converted into months & days of service using the 2087 Chart.

  • The converted time is added to your total creditable service time to compute the FERS pension
  • Blocks of 30 days will count as an additional month of service
  • Days that do not round up to 30 days will become use-or-lose

 

Sick leave only adds to service time and will not count toward eligibility (does not help you retire earlier). See the example below of how to add converted sick leave to your total creditable service time.

Example of FERS Sick Leave Conversion

In the example below, there are 6 months and 27 days of unused sick leave. An important note, the sick leave is added to the creditable service time to then round out at 30 days. Any days left over the 30 days is lost. In this example, 9 days of sick leave is forfeited and does not add to the pension.
