  • Following acceptance of a waiver, the specialist shall compute the amount of good time credit already earned on the controlling term pursuant to PCPenal Code 2931 from the date of reception into the Department on or after 7177, to the effective date of waiver.

  • The credit earned, minus any credit previously forfeited and/or restored by classification action on disciplinaries received prior to the effective date of waiver, shall be vested and not subject to future loss.

  • Vested credit on cases sentenced pursuant to PCPenal Code 2933 (crime committed on or after 1183) is good time on post-sentence credit.

  • The application of vested credit will generate a new Legal Status Summary, a copy of which will be sent to the inmate.
