73030.8.13 Calculation of Work time Credit (PC 2933)

• The following steps shall be taken to determine the release date on a term eligible for work time credit:

  • Add the controlling term to the term start date on the controlling case and subtract applicable preprison credit. The resulting date is the maximum release date.

  • The maximum release and current release dates are the same until vested credit and/or worktime credits are applied to the term.

  • The adjusted maximum release date is arrived at by subtracting vested credit from the original maximum release date.

  • The current release date is changed as earned worktime credits are applied and/or credits are forfeited or restored.

  • The EPRDEarliest Possible Release Date is projected each time earned worktime credits or forfeited or restored credits are applied to the current release date or there is a change in credit earning status. The application of worktime credits, adjusted by any credits forfeited or restored, through any working month or portion thereof, results in a new current release date. Subtracting the date through which credit was applied from the new current release date determines the remaining number of days eligible for goodtime then divisable based on the inmate’s credit earning status. The resulting number of days subtracted from the new current release date is the EPRDEarliest Possible Release Date.
