James L. Billinger v. Office of Personnel Management

LOURIE, Circuit Judge.

James L. Billinger petitions for review of the final decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board reversing the administrative judge’s (“AJ’s”) initial decision, which had reversed the Office of Personnel Management’s (“OPM’s”) decision to deny Billinger’s request that his unused sick leave be credited in his Civil Service Retirement System (“CSRS”) annuity computation. See Billinger v. OPM, 82 M.S.P.R. 195 (M.S.P.B.1999). Because Billinger’s unused sick leave was earned under a formal leave system and therefore is creditable under the CSRS, we reverse and remand.
