PART 1002_REGULATIONS UNDER THE UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND 
REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT OF 1994--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart C_Eligibility For Reemployment
 
Sec.  1002.116  Is the time period for reporting back to an employer 

extended if the employee is hospitalized for, or convalescing from, 
an illness or injury incurred in, or aggravated during, the performance 
of service?

    Yes. If the employee is hospitalized for, or convalescing from, an 
illness or injury incurred in, or aggravated during, the performance of 
service, he or she must report to or submit an application for 
reemployment to the employer at the end of the period necessary for 
recovering from the illness or injury. This period may not exceed two 
years from the date of the completion of service, except that it must be 
extended by the minimum time necessary to accommodate circumstances 
beyond the employee's control that make reporting within the period 
impossible or unreasonable. This period for recuperation and recovery 
extends the time period for reporting to or submitting an application 
for reemployment to the employer, and is not applicable following 
reemployment.
