If you resign, you could be eligible for coverage under a governmental retirement plan. Your coverage will remain uninterrupted under the contract, as long as you submit a new request through your retirement system within 30 days after retirement.
If you take an unpaid leave, Act No. 95 states that the employing agency shall determine the start and end date of such leave of absence. Employees are entitled up to 12 months worth of their employers contribution, unless the leave of absence is granted under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, which establishes a maximum contribution of 12 weeks.
