Chapter 9.-LEAVE

§ 501. Payments for unused accrued leave.

(d) Payments for unused accrued leave under subsections (b) and (g) of this section and for accumulated leave under subsection (h) of this section, in the case of a member who dies while on active duty or in the case of a member or former member who dies after retirement or discharge and before he receives that payment, shall be made in accordance with section 2771 of title 10. In the case of a member who dies while on active duty, payment for unused accrued leave under subsections (b) and (g) of this section shall be based upon the unused accrued leave the member carried forward into the leave year during which he died plus the unusued1 leave that accrued to him during that leave year. However, the number of days upon which the payment is based may not be more than 60.

1 So in original.

(As amended Pub. L. 92–596, § 2, Oct. 27, 1972, 86 Stat. 1318.)

CODIFICATION

Subsection (a) (2), (3), and (4) purports to define "child", "parent", and "brother or sister", as used in subsection (d). However, subsection (d) was restated by Pub. L. 89-151 and, as restated, contains a new order of precedence in the payment of accrued leave (1.e., 10 U.S.C. 2771). That new order of precedence is different for the order it replaced. As a result, the definitions contained in subsection (a) (2), (3), and (4) have no area of operation, and probably should have been repealed by Pub. L. 89-151.

AMENDMENTS

1972-Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 92-596, § 2(1), added reference to accumulated leave under subsection (h) of this section.

Subsec. (h). Pub. L. 92-596, § 2(2), added subsec. (h). EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1972 AMENDMENT Amendment by Pub. L. 92-596 effective Feb. 28, 1961, see section 3 of Pub. L. 92-596, set out as a note under section 701 of Title 10, Armed Forces.

However, a member who is performing full-time training duty or other full-time duty without pay, or inactive-duty training with or without pay, is entitled to the pay and allowances to which he would have been entitled if he had been on active duty with pay. Notwithstanding section 1523 of title 10 or any other provision of law, the promotion of a member while he is in a missing status is fully effective for all purposes, even though the Secretary concerned determines under section 556(b) of this title that the member died before the promotion was made.

L. 92-169 effective for the purposes of Chapter 13 of Title 38, Veterans' Benefits, on Nov. 24, 1971 and for all other purposes effective as of Feb. 28, 1961, see section 3 of Pub.
