A Service Computation Date (SCD) is a date, either actual or constructed, used to determine benefits that are based on how long the person has been in the Federal Service. SCD's are established for leave and Reduction-In-Force (RIF) purposes. In addition, SCD's are also important for ensuring eligibility and benefits under the Federal Retirement Systems.

REF:
n 5 CFR Part 353
n Guide to Processing Personel Actions
Service that counts in the construction of an SCD is called 'creditable service." Creditable service is Federal Government employment (civilian or uniformed service) that meets specific requirements for a particular type of benefit (i.e., leave accrual, RIF retention, retirement, etc.).
