2. Issue 210501: FY-20 COVID-19 SLA.  Per reference (a) the Under Secretary
of Defense issued a Special Leave Accrual (SLA) authorization for all military
members to carry over up to a maximum of 120 days of leave into FY-21.
Reference (b) announced the authorization and policy for military personnel to
carry over leave in excess of 60 days, but limited to 120 days for a period of
3 years, or not to exceed September 30, 2023.  No action was required by field
activities.  DFAS identified all leave balance which fell into the authorized
parameters and automatically carried forward all leave balances that did not
exceed 120 days.
3.  Issue 210502.  Use/Lose Leave Balance LES error.  DFAS has identified a
system error which caused erroneous leave balances to reflect on some personnel
who were authorized SLA for FY-20.  A statement issued from DFAS MILPAY OPS is
as follows:
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service is sending this notice to notify
you of a system error that resulted in overstated Use/Lose leave balances on
most Active Duty members January Leave and Earnings Statements (LES).  Actions
are being taken to resolve the issue and restore the proper Use/Lose leave
balances on the January LES.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have
caused. We will send an updated notification once the error has been resolved
and the Use/Lose leave balances have been corrected. Delivered by the Defense
Finance and Accounting Service.
4.  Issue 210503.  Account Correction.  Navy members with erroneous leave
balances should have corrective action taken in time to reflect on the February
2021 LES cycle.  If commands identify any remaining erroneous balances after
the issuance of the February 2021 LES they should take immediate action in
reporting the error and requesting account correction via the Defense Workload
Online Web System (DWOWS).//
