How long will I be on federal parole?

You will be on parole and under the supervision of a U.S. Probation Officer until the maximum expiration date of the sentence (for offenses committed before April 11, 1987), unless the Commission ends your supervision earlier.

!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your time on federal parole runs at the same time as any other Federal, State, or local sentence to supervision.[1034]

    IF YOUR SUPERVISION IS ENDED EARLY: You will be given a Certificate of Early Termination, which may also be provided to other supervising agencies.[1035]
    IF YOU ARE NOT RELEASED TO PAROLE, AND INSTEAD YOU ARE MANDATORILY RELEASED: Your supervision by a U.S. Probation Officer automatically ends 180 days before the maximum expiration date, unless the USPC ends supervision earlier. If your supervision is ended early, you will be given a Certificate of Early Termination.[1036] You have been mandatorily released if you reached the end of the sentence imposed by the court minus any “good time” deductions you earned during the time of your confinement.[1037]
