Annual leave payable upon entering the DROP and/or separation unless what occurs?

• A. FRS Benefits Forfeited
• B. Certification Revoked
• C. FRS Benefits Forfeited Or Certification Revoked
• D. Neither FRS Benefits Forfeited Nor Certification Revoked

Answer: (C)

The amount of annual leave paid when you enter DROP or separate is conditioned on ongoing eligibility for retirement-related benefits and credentials. You receive the leave payout unless you lose those protections: if FRS benefits are forfeited or if certification is revoked, you’re no longer eligible for the payout. In other words, either event stops the cash-out, so the correct rule is that annual leave is payable only as long as neither FRS benefits are forfeited nor certification is revoked.
