Creditable Service Form

Why do I need to fill out this form?

You should complete this form to indicate whether or not you have prior state, local service, or both to credit to your total years of service. If not, you will just indicate that you have no past creditable service time and sign the form. If so, completing this form enables your Human Resources office to verify your prior service and ensure you are properly credited for the time. Any prior creditable service provides credit toward your vacation, longevity, and service awards. In addition, your vacation, sick leave, or both may be transferable.
