Pandemic FAQ

Question

May I receive donated annual leave from my coworkers to care for a sick family member?

Answer

An employee with a personal or family medical emergency who has exhausted his or her own available paid leave may be eligible to receive donated annual leave from his or her agency’s voluntary leave transfer or leave bank program. If OPM has established an emergency leave transfer program, the employee also may be eligible to receive donated leave from the emergency leave transfer program.
