Separation/Retirement

Step-by-Step Process

  • Calculate Your Terminal Leave​
    • Use the Terminal Leave Calculator to estimate your leave dates.​
    • ​For validation and assistance, submit a CSP Inquiry or visit the Finance Office during service hours: Monday–Wednesday, Friday | 0900–1500​
  • Submit Leave Requests Separately via Leaveweb.​
    • Enter Permissive Leave and Terminal Leave as two separate leave requests.​
    • If Permissive Leave will be used in conjunction, select “Rule 2” and check the appropriate box in LeaveWeb so the leave request routes correctly to Finance.​
    • Note: All leave requests must be authorized by your leadership. Only a G-Series appointed commander can approve Permissive and Terminal Leave.
  • Complete the Finance Retirement/Separation Out-Processing Packet
    • Questions? Reach out via CSP Inquiry or stop by the Finance Office during service hours for support.​
  • Consolidate and Submit Your Documentation
    • Combine the completed packet, approved leave requests, and your Separation/Retirement orders into one PDF file.​
    • Submit via CSP Inquiry or deliver in person during Finance Office hours for final review/approval.​
  • Receive Your Finalized Documentation
    • Upon review and approval, Finance will return a consolidated file containing:​
      • Approved AF Form 988 with the Leave Authorization Number​
      • Signed off Finance Checklist indicating you’ve completed the Finance Out-processing portion of your vMPF Final Out Checklist.​
    • This finalized packet is required for your final out appointment with MPF.​
      • Note: If virtual MPF is down, this signed and approved file from Finance serves as your valid documentation for final out-processing.​
