Revised 2/12
Eligibility by Appointment Type
IMPORTANT NOTE: Eligibility for military leave benefits ends when the employment contract ends unless the
employee would have received another consecutive appointment if not on active military duty. If there is an
established pattern of consecutive terminal appointments, the employer should make a reasonable
determination of whether the employee would have received another consecutive terminal appointment if he or
she were not on active duty and, if possible, renew the appointments prior to the beginning of the military leave.
In cases where the intent is not to renew the appointment in absence of the military duty, incumbents should
be notified prior to reporting for active duty. If the incumbent has a back-up appointment, he or she should be
placed in the backup appointment prior to military leave, if possible.
