Why do that? Use terminal leave and collect all of your allowances and medical coverage.

Of course, the optimal is to get hired just before you retire, take terminal leave, and start training with your airline. The guys that pulled this off were my heroes!!
I worked up to the last day too.
I had no reason not to, I didn't have a job lined up. The check that came to the direct deposit some time later was a nice infusion to the checking account.
EFD01 - no....I don't remember having to do anything special to request for the leave payback.
