I’m sure pretty sure you lose your sick leave when you leave. That’s why people take it before they go. For sure you are paid out vacation.

Unused sick day, what's that?

It depends on the state you work. You receive unused vacation for the year as well as accrued vacation for the following year. Most states that is all you get and you forfeit any unused sick, PB, and floaters. In CA and NE you get your unused FH and PB paid. The sick pay is forfeited in all states.
You can find this policy in the Employment Law Reference Guide.

Exactly. I made the mistake of not using a couple one year. Had no idea they were taxed at a ridiculous rate. Never again.
It will be fine

They’d be taxed like income. Withholding might be higher but the tax rate is the same.

Often, if someone has been around awhile, especially retiring, there is an understood agreement that they have appointments or other issues requiring the use of sick days. Basically, managers stop really scheduling you and you use the MAP, PB and FH for your last days. Your local management may vary and I wouldn't do this for someone that is new, to me <5 years, unless it was known and understood they were pursuing education and would be moving into their career field upon graduation.
