The text provides information on the administration of the Armed Forces Leave Act of 1946, which compensates ex-servicemen and women for unused leave time at the time of their separation. The Act applies to those with honorable discharges, and application forms are available at post offices. Veterans can estimate their leave time if unsure, and supporting documents include the original discharge certificate. Claims must be postmarked by September 1, 1947, and service periods between September 8, 1939, and August 31, 1946, are eligible. The limit on accrued leave time is 120 days, and settlement is based on rank, length of service, and subsistence allowance.
