Sec. 2081. Computation of length of service


(a) In general

                (1) Crediting service as participant

        For the purposes of this subchapter, the period of service of a 
    participant shall be computed from the date on which the participant 
    becomes a participant under this subchapter.

                  (2) Exclusion of certain periods

        In computing the period of service of a participant, all periods 
    of separation from the Agency and so much of any leave of absence 
    without pay as may exceed six months in the aggregate in any 
    calendar year shall be excluded, except leaves of absence while 
    receiving benefits under chapter 81 of title 5 and leaves of absence 
    granted participants while performing active and honorable service 
    in the Armed Forces.

             (3) Crediting certain periods of separation

        A participant or former participant who returns to Government 
    duty after a period of separation shall have included in the 
    participant or former participant's period of service that part of 
    the period of separation in which the participant or former 
    participant was receiving benefits under chapter 81 of title 5.

(b) Extra credit for periods served at unhealthful posts overseas

         (1) Classification of certain posts as unhealthful

        The Director may from time to time establish a list of places 
    outside the United States that, by reason of climatic or other 
    extreme conditions, are to be classed as unhealthful posts. Such 
    list shall be established in consultation with the Secretary of 
    State.

                          (2) Extra credit

        Each year of duty at a post on the list established under 
    paragraph (1), inclusive of regular leaves of absence, shall be 
    counted as one and a half years in computing the length of service 
    of a participant under this subchapter for the purpose of 
    retirement. In computing such service, any fractional month shall be 
    treated as a full month.

            (3) Coordination with benefits under title 5

        Extra credit for service at an unhealthful post may not be 
    credited to a participant who is paid a differential under section 
    5925 or 5928 of title 5 for the same service.
