Sec. 6366. Eligibility for leave recipients

    (a) An employee is eligible to be a leave recipient if such 
employee--
        (1) experiences a medical emergency and submits an application 
    pursuant to section 6367(a); and
        (2)(A) contributes the minimum number of hours as required under 
    subsection (b) of accrued or accumulated annual leave to the leave 
    bank of the employing agency of such employee, in the leave year 
    (beginning in and including any part of a leave year in which such 
    leave bank is established) that such employee submits an application 
    to be a leave recipient under section 6367(a); and
        (B) such contribution is made before such employee submits an 
    application under section 6367(a).

    (b)(1) An employee shall contribute the minimum number of hours 
required under subsection (a)(2)(A), if such employee is an employee--
        (A) for less than 3 years of service and contributes a minimum 
    of 4 hours;
        (B) for between 3 years and less than 15 years of service and 
    contributes a minimum of 6 hours; or
        (C) for 15 years or more of service and contributes a minimum of 
    8 hours.

    (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), the Leave Bank 
Board of an agency, after consultation with the Office of Personnel 
Management, may--
        (A) reduce the minimum number of hours required under paragraph 
    (1) for any leave year, if such Board determines there is a surplus 
    of leave in the leave bank; and
        (B) increase the number of minimum hours required under 
    paragraph (1) for the succeeding leave year, in any leave year in 
    which the Board determines there is a shortage of leave in the leave 
    bank.

    (c) An employee shall meet the requirements of subsection (a)(2)(A) 
if such employee contributes the minimum number of hours as required 
under subsection (b) of accrued or accumulated annual leave to the leave 
bank with which such employee submits an application to be a leave 
recipient under section 6367(a).
    (d) The provisions of subsection (a) may not be construed to limit 
the amount of the voluntary contribution of annual leave to a leave 
bank, which does not exceed the limitations of section 6365(b).
