I had 3.0 days of Leave vanish from my LES when the new fiscal year started (the leave was still there on Oct 2022 paycheck showing as balance forward but vanished in Nov 2022). I only had 3.0 days of leave on my LES. My unit ARA told me that it happens and you can still use it if you go active duty. How do I verify this information?

You may want to address this RFI with your BN S1. The reason why I say this is because when I got back from deployment last summer (BOG back in the States was May 2021), after all my days were calculated and used, I was left with 0.5 days of Leave. I just looked at my most recent LES from BTA last month...and my 0.5 Days BF Leave Balance is still there. I have never heard of Leave days just vanishing unless those days were over the USE/LOSE ceiling.

There are two likely scenarios here.

The first is that you don't realize that the balance forward entry is not your amount of leave. The accrued leave entry is the amount of leave you have.

The second is that you were caught up in a DFAS glitch that affected multiple military members. If your leave legit disappeared from your LES, you have to submit a pay inquiry with the LES showing the leave and the LES without the leave and request it back

Are you at the use or lose number? If you are, you stop accumulating leave.

SFC (Join to see) - I only know about seeing leave balances on the LES where the 3.0 vanished. Is there another location on MyPay where I can see this?

Not I’m aware of, 1LT (Join to see). Maybe call DFAS and submit a ticket.
