Active-duty troops can take up to two weeks of leave, nonchargeable, in case of death of their spouse or their child. Those with over 30 days of leave would get the normal leave. However, if their leave would result in their dipping below 30 days in the books, the balance would be nonchargeable. The service members would still have 30 days of leave when they return. Service members who submit a leave request under this scenario, but who have less than 30 days, would be able to use up to 14 days of nonchargeable leave.<\/p>\n

From the Air Force Times:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

“The loss of a spouse or child has detrimental effects on a member’s ability to perform assigned duties,” the memo reads, adding that “a member who experiences such a loss will be allowed up to 14 days of leave to be used in connection with the death of a spouse or child.”<\/p>\n

The law created a new, non-chargeable type of leave for bereavement, allowing troops with fewer than 30 days of accrued leave to take time off to grieve without eating up their vacation days.<\/p>\n

In practice, if a service member with more than 30 days of chargeable leave applies for up to two consecutive weeks off following the death of a spouse or child, they will use their vacation days until that bank hits 30. After that, the remaining days can be taken as non-chargeable bereavement leave.<\/p>\n

For service members with fewer than 30 days in their leave bank, they can take the full 14 days of non-chargeable leave.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
