2. “However, the “posting date” is not at all the relevant date for our consideration. The conditional release statute specifically provides for forfeiture of all gain time “earned up to the date of release.” Although petitioners’ 800 days of provisional credits were posted in 2000, they were earned in the mid 1990s, on the Department’s “accrued” date. Accordingly, the “accrued date” and not the “posting date” is the relevant date we must consider when determining whether late-awarded gain time may be forfeited. To do otherwise would result in inmates such as these petitioners receiving Gomez credits but not forfeiting them for a conditional release violation, while another inmate who received Gomez credits before being released on conditional release would forfeit the credits for a later violation. Because we find that petitioners’ provisional credits were properly forfeited, they are not entitled to relief on this issue.”

3. “In other words the Department records the gain time as if it had been awarded at the appropriate time in the past. When the Department does this, it refers to the date when the gain time should have been awarded as the “accrued date.” The date on which a data entry employee enters the gain time award into the computer and credits it to the inmate’s “account” or record is called the “posting date.””
