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. |

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.). |
