Extended authorizations reduce PCL day-for-day.

Extended authorizations reduce PCL day-for-day.

• A. They increase PCL days
• B. They reduce PCL day-for-day
• C. They have no effect
• D. They double PCL days

Answer: (B)

Extended authorizations provide additional time that can be used toward meeting obligations, and that time effectively reduces the number of PCL days you must serve on a day-for-day basis. In practice, each extra day granted subtracts one day from your remaining PCL. For example, a 10-day extension lowers your remaining PCL by 10 days. This is a direct offset, so the statement matches how extensions affect PCL. It would not increase PCL days, leave them unchanged, or double them.
