(b) The leave bank board may require leave bank members to submit applications under this section within a prescribed period of time following the termination of a medical emergency. (c) An application by a leave bank member to become a leave recipient shall be accompanied by the following information concerning the potential leave recipient: (1) The leave bank member's name, position title, and grade or pay level; (2) The reasons leave is needed, including a brief description of the nature, severity, anticipated duration, and if it is a recurring one, the approximate frequency of the medical emergency affecting the leave bank member; (3) Certification from one or more physicians, or other appropriate experts, with respect to the medical emergency, if the leave bank board so requires; and (4) Any additional information that may be required by the leave bank board. (d) If the leave bank board requires a leave bank member to submit certification from two or more sources under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, the agency shall ensure, either by direct payment to the expert involved or by reimbursement, that the leave bank member is not required to pay for the expenses associated with obtaining certification from more than one source.
