Does time prior to a voluntary downgrade count?

I was a GS13 step 4 for 1 year when I accepted a voluntary down grade to a GS12 step 10 in order transfer to a different agency. I am now being upgraded to a GS13, my question is; will the 1 year I had as a GS13 step 4 count when I am upgraded to a GS13?
Thank you!

If the GS-13 position you left and the GS-13 position you are being upgraded to are the same occupational series, then yes, it should be included as time in grade for your next within-grade-increase (WGI).

Yes, agencies have internal policies regarding how to set pay when an individual has different grades and series. You will need to consult with your agency HRO about the policy they use in a situation such as yours.

In your case it is probably because the series is different. Your agency should be able to provide you with this information. Where I last worked it was posted on our intranet under Human Resources.
