1. This ALCOAST is a reminder of the Special Leave Accrual (SLA) 
policy announced in REF (A) for all active and qualified reserve 
military personnel in accordance with REFs (B) and (C). This was 
due to the ongoing Coast Guard response to the National Emergency 
resulting from COVID-19 pandemic.
2. The following chart illustrates the maximum leave balance 
carryover for FY21–FY23:
End date of FY:       	Total Carryover Limit:

30SEP22            	75 days
30SEP23               	60 days
3. Members should manage their accrued leave balances to avoid 
loss of leave. Commands are encouraged to work with members to 
plan leave which balances member and family needs with mission 
readiness.

in this ALCOAST, remain unchanged.
