A duty-related injury/illness reaches an aggregate of how many days in other than full duty status within a rolling 2 year calendar?

• A. 270
• B. 180
• C. 90
• D. 360

Answer: (A)

When a duty-related injury or illness keeps someone out of full duty for an extended period, the policy looks at how many days that has happened within any rolling two-year span. The important part is the rolling window, not a fixed calendar year, so the count is always based on the most recent 24 months.

The threshold is reached when those days in non-full-duty status amount to about nine months within that two-year window. Reaching that level triggers a formal review to determine next steps, which could include medical retirement or separation, depending on the medical status and job requirements.

Think of it as a safeguard: it sets a clear, substantial benchmark for when extended incapacity necessitates administrative action, while still accounting for the fluctuation of injuries over time. The other numbers would not align with this established benchmark, which is why the nine-month approximation is used.
