STATISTICAL REPORT ON THE MILITARY RETIREMENT SYSTEM As of September 30, 2017
Introduction The data published in this report is produced from the files maintained by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) in Monterey, California. This report compiles data primarily from the Retiree Pay and Survivor Pay files, sorting and compiling data by various categories, such as service, rank, type of retirement, and mailing address of the retiree. Any grouping of members by address reflects mailing, not necessarily residence address. Most reports use the September 30, 2017, end-of-fiscal-year file. Some reports are cumulative and also use earlier files. The FY 2011 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (P.L. 111-383) requires pay to a military retiree to be paid on the first day of each month beginning after the month in which the pay accrues. This means that when the first day of the month falls on a non-business day (weekend/holiday), the pay must be paid the preceding business day. This legislation did not address, or affect, survivor annuitant pay and certain combat-related compensation. In certain fiscal years this results in retirees receiving 13 monthly payments. In other years, retirees may receive only 11 payments; however, the usual 12 monthly payments will be the most frequent occurrence. For purposes of this report, all pay is counted as if it is received on the first day of the month. Be aware that there are limitations to the accuracy of the numbers. The data is preliminary because of reporting delays. The information about many members who retired or died within one month of the September 30, 2017 reporting date may not have been processed in time to be included in this report. In some cases, data is missing. Those members are counted either as unknown or are part of the “other” line. In some cases, unknowns are counted differently from table to table. For example, if rank (Officer vs. Enlisted) is known, but grade within rank is not, only the tables which categorize by grade will label these retirees in an unknown status. Those members on the Temporary Disability Retirement List (TDRL) are considered retired on the day they are classified as temporarily disabled. In some cases, members move from TDRL to permanently disabled status, but in that case the retirement date remains the original date they were placed on TDRL. Cases where retirees’ pay is suspended by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) are excluded from these tables. We treat annuitants whose pay is suspended differently. Those annuitants whose pay is suspended because a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) has not been received for a period of three months or less are still included in our counts. Annuitants whose pay is suspended because a COE has not been received for longer than three months or because DFAS suspects they have died are not included in the counts. Please note that net pay is the pay after deductions for survivor premiums and benefits offset by a VA award. It is the pay before any deductions for withholding taxes and allotments. Number paid by DoD includes only those whose net pay by this definition is greater than $0. Number retired includes all living retirees, including some whose net pay is $0.
In this report, “Combat Related Special Compensation” (CRSC) and “Concurrent Retirement and Disability Payments” (CRDP) are considered to be part of net retired pay, even though CRSC is not technically retired pay for certain tax reasons. Payments for CRDP and CRSC less survivor premiums are included in the net retired pay totals. Reports showing retired pay or payments do not reflect amounts for retroactive pay related to the CRDP and CRSC programs. All pay tallied in this report is paid from the MRF to retirees and annuitants except for Annuities for Certain Military Surviving Spouses (ACMSS). These annuitants are survivors of either members who died on active duty before SBP started on September 21, 1972, or are survivors of reservists who retired between September 21, 1972, and October 1, 1978, and subsequently died before reaching their 60th birthday.
SUMMARY OF THE MILITARY RETIREMENT SYSTEM As of September 30, 2017
Overview
The military retirement system applies to members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. However, most of the provisions also apply to retirement systems for members of the Coast Guard (administered by the Department of Homeland Security), officers of the Public Health Service (administered by the Department of Health and Human Services), and officers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (administered by the Department of Commerce). Only those members in plans administered by the Department of Defense (DoD) are included in this report, except in cases where Coast Guard data is shown for informational purposes.
The system is a funded, noncontributory defined benefit plan that includes non-disability retired pay, disability retired pay, retired pay for reserve service, survivor annuity programs, and special compensation programs for certain disabled retirees. The Service Secretaries may approve immediate non-disability retired pay at any age with credit of at least 20 years of active duty service. Reserve retirees generally must be at least 60 years old and have at least 20 qualified years of service before retired pay commences; in some cases the age can be less than 60 if the reservist performed certain types of active duty service. There is no vesting of defined benefit entitlements before retirement; however, other military retirement system benefits may have lower vesting requirements.
Non-Disability Retirement From Active Service
There are four distinct non-disability benefit formulas within the military retirement system, per current statute (see table at the end of this section).
1) Final Pay: Military personnel who first became members of a uniformed service before September 8, 1980, have retired pay equal to final basic pay times a multiplier. The multiplier is equal to 2.5 percent times years of service. Retired pay and survivor annuity benefits are automatically adjusted annually to protect the purchasing power of initial retired pay. Final pay retirees have their benefits adjusted annually by the percentage increase in the average Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is commonly referred to as full CPI protection.
2) High-3: If the retiree first became a member of a uniformed service on or after September 8, 1980, the average of the highest 36 months of basic pay is used instead of final basic pay. The multiplier is also equal to 2.5 percent times years of service and high-3 retirees also have their benefits adjusted annually by the percentage increase in the average Consumer Price Index (CPI).
3) Career Status Bonus (CSB)/Redux: Members who first became a member of a uniformed service on or after August 1, 1986, provided they had 15 years of service before December 31, 2017, may choose between a High-3 and CSB/Redux retirement. Those who elect CSB/Redux receive the Career Status Bonus outlined below, also have retired pay computed on a base of the average of their highest 36 months of basic pay, but are subject to a multiplier penalty if
they retire with less than 30 years of service; however, at age 62, their retired pay is recomputed without the multiplier penalty. Members make their election during the fifteenth year of service and may receive the Career Status Bonus of $30,000 in either a lump sum or installments. Those who elect CSB/Redux must remain continuously on active duty until they complete 20 years of active duty service or forfeit a portion of the $30,000 (exceptions include death and disability retirement). Career Status Bonus retirees have their benefits adjusted annually by the percentage change in the CPI minus 1 percent (except when the change in the CPI is less than 1 percent). When the military member’s age is 62, or when the member would have been age 62 for a survivor annuity, the benefits are restored to the amount that would have been payable had full CPI protection been in effect and had there not have been a multiplier penalty. However, after this restoral, partial indexing (CPI minus 1 percent) continues for future retired pay and survivor annuity payments. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2016 (NDAA 2016, P.L. 114-92) sunsets the CSB/Redux benefit tier by not allowing any CSB elections after December 31, 2017.
4) Blended Retirement System (BRS): Members who first become a member of a uniformed service after December 31, 2017, will be under the new Blended Retirement System (BRS) which was enacted in NDAA 2016 and takes effect January 1, 2018. Members who first entered the military before January 1, 2018 and who have served for fewer than 12 years as of December 31, 2017 will have the option to “opt in” to BRS via an irrevocable election during a one-year (calendar year 2018) open season or remain in the High-3 system. Members who have served 12 or more years as of December 31, 2017 are not permitted to opt in to BRS and will receive benefits based on their current plan. As a result of NDAA 2016, members with 12 or more but fewer than 15 years of service as of December 31, 2017 will not have the opportunity to opt in to BRS or to elect the CSB and will automatically remain in the High-3 system1. The BRS lowers the nondisabled retired pay multiplier from 2.5 percent per year to 2.0 percent and includes automatic and matching government contributions to member Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) accounts and a mandatory mid-career continuation bonus if member agrees to serve additional time. The BRS also provides members the choice of receiving a portion (either 25 percent or 50 percent) of their retired pay entitlement from when the member is eligible to begin receiving retired pay to normal Social Security retirement age (usually 67) as a discounted lump sum instead of an annuity. For additional information, see table at the end of this section or refer to the DoD Office of Military Compensation website (http://militarypay.defense.gov/).
As of September 30, 2017, there were 1.47 million non-disability retirees from active duty receiving retired pay. In FY 2017, non-disability retired pay entitlements totaled $45.5 billion. Disability Retirement A military member in an active component or on active duty for more than 30 days who is found unfit for duty is entitled to disability retired pay if the disability: (1) based upon accepted medical principles, is of a permanent nature and stable;
1 Because of breaks in service and technical differences in the definition of qualifying years of service under BRS compared to CSB/Redux, it’s not possible to precisely define this group based solely on dates of entry, but generally it will include members who joined the service after December 31, 2002 and on or before December 31, 2005.
(2) is incurred while entitled to basic pay (or while on authorized absence in a status not entitled to basic pay); (3) is neither the result of the member's intentional misconduct nor willful neglect; (4) was not incurred during a period of unauthorized absence; and (5) either:
(a) the member has at least 20 years of service; or (b) the disability is rated at least 30 percent under the Department of Veterans Affairs
Schedule of Rating Disabilities (VASRD) and one of the following conditions is met: (i) the disability was not noted at the time of the member's entrance on active duty (unless clear and unmistakable evidence demonstrates that the disability existed before the member's entrance on active duty and was not aggravated by active military service); (ii) the disability is the proximate result of performing active duty; (iii) the disability incurred in the line of duty in time of war or national emergency; or (iv) the disability was incurred in the line of duty after September 14, 1978.
Under certain conditions generally similar to the above, members on active duty for 30 days or less or on inactive-duty training are also entitled to disability retired pay for disabilities incurred or aggravated in the line of duty. In disability retirement, the member may elect to receive retired pay equal to either: (1) the accrued non-disability retirement benefit regardless of eligibility to retire; or (2) base pay multiplied by the rated percent of disability. Except for members with a multiplier under (1) that is greater than 75 percent (which will equate to different years of service depending on whether the member is under BRS), the benefit cannot be more than 75 percent of base pay. Only the excess of (1) over (2) is subject to federal income taxes if the member had service on or before September 24, 1975. If not a member of a uniformed service on September 24, 1975, disability retired pay is tax-exempt only for those disabilities that are combat or hazardous duty related. Base pay is equal to final basic pay if the retiree first became a member of a uniformed service before September 8, 1980; otherwise, base pay is equal to the average of the highest 36 months of basic pay. Members whose disabilities may not be permanent are placed on a temporary-disability retired list and receive disability retirement pay just as if they were permanently disabled. However, they must be physically examined every 18 months for any change in disability. A final determination must be made within five years, except that for retirees placed on this list on or after January 1, 2017, the final determination must be made within three years. The temporary disability pay is calculated like the permanent disability retired pay, except that it can be no less than 50 percent of base pay. Members who elected the CSB/Redux retirement option, but who retired for disability, are not subject to the reduced CSB/Redux retired pay multiplier and are awarded retired pay based on the disability retired rules outlined above. However, such members continue to be subject to the reduced CPI (with age 62 restoral) as Career Status Bonus recipients. Members who are under BRS and who retire for disability do not have the option of receiving a portion of retired pay as a discounted lump sum. As of September 30, 2017, there were 118 thousand disability retirees receiving retired pay. In FY 2017, disability retired pay entitlements totaled $1.59 billion.
Reserve Retirement Members of the Reserve Components may retire after 20 qualifying years of creditable service. However, reserve retired pay is not payable until age 60 unless the member performs certain types of active duty or active service specified in NDAA 2008 (P.L. 110-181), in which case the age is reduced below 60 by three months for every 90 days of such service within any two consecutive fiscal years. However, the age cannot be reduced below 50, and eligibility for subsidized retiree health benefits remains at age 60 even if the eligibility age for retired pay is reduced. For members not under BRS, retired pay is computed as retired pay base times 2.5 percent times years of service. For members under BRS (as explained below) the 2.5 percent multiplier is reduced to 2.0 percent. If the reservist was first a member of a uniformed service before September 8, 1980, retired pay base is defined as the active duty basic pay in effect for the retiree’s grade and years of service at the time that retired pay begins. If the reservist first became a member of the armed services on or after September 8, 1980, retired pay base is the average basic pay for the member’s grade in the highest 36 months computed as if he/she was on active duty for the entire period preceding the age at which retired pay commences. The years of service are determined by using a point system, where 360 points convert to a year of service. Typically, one point is awarded for one day of active duty service (e.g. active duty training) or one inactive duty training (IDT) drill attendance. Reservists may perform two IDT periods in one day thereby receiving two retirement points per day. In addition, 15 points are awarded for completion of one year’s membership in an active reserve status. A creditable year of service is one in which the member earned at least 50 points. A member generally cannot retire with less than 20 creditable years, although points earned in non-creditable years are used in the retirement calculation. Beginning with years of service that include October 30, 2007, non-active duty points are limited in any year to no more than 130. Lesser limitations have applied in the past. Reservists who first became a member on or before December 31, 2017 and had fewer than 4,320 points (equating to 360 points per year multiplied by 12 years of service) as of that date are eligible to opt in to BRS. Reservists who first become a member of the uniformed service after December 31, 2017 are automatically under BRS. For reserve retirement under BRS, the discounted lump sum option covers the period from the date the member first became eligible to receive retired pay (i.e., 60 or earlier if certain qualifying service is performed) to normal Social Security retirement age (usually 67). As of September 30, 2017, there were 409 thousand reserve retirees receiving retired pay. In FY 2017, reserve retired pay entitlements totaled $6.4 billion. Survivor Benefits Legislation originating in 1953 provided optional survivor benefits. It was later referred to as the Retired Servicemen’s Family Protection Plan (RSFPP). The plan proved to be expensive to the participants and inadequate since the survivor annuities were never adjusted for inflation and could not be more than 50 percent of retired pay. RSFPP was designed to be self-supporting in the sense that the present value of the reductions to retired pay equaled the present value of the survivor annuities.
On September 21, 1972, RSFPP was replaced by the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) for new retirees. RSFPP still covers those servicemen retired before 1972 who did not convert to the new plan or who retained RSFPP in conjunction with SBP. RSFPP continues to pay survivor annuities. Retired pay is reduced, before taxes, by the member’s cost for SBP. Total SBP costs are shared by the government and the retiree, so the reductions in retired pay are only a portion of the total cost of the SBP program. The SBP survivor annuity is 55 percent of the member’s base amount. The base amount is elected by the member, but cannot be less than $300 or more than the member’s full retired pay, with one exception. If the member elects CSB/Redux and is subject to a penalty for service under 30 years in the calculation of retired pay, the maximum base amount is equal to the full retired pay without the penalty. However, the annuity for a survivor of a CSB/Redux retiree is subject to the reduced CPI. When the plan started in 1972, benefits for those 62 and older were reduced by the constructed amount of Social Security for which the survivor would be eligible based on the member's military pay. In 1985, that reduction formula was changed so all annuitants 62 and over received a reduced flat rate of 35 percent of the member’s base. Beginning October 1, 2005, the age 62 reduced rate was phased out in 5 percent increments. On April 1, 2008, the survivor benefit reduction at age 62 was fully eliminated and the rate of 55 percent of the member’s elected base became standard for all survivors, regardless of age. During FY 1987, the SBP program’s treatment of survivor remarriages changed. Prior to the change, a surviving spouse remarrying before age 60 had the survivor annuity suspended. The change lowered the age to 55. If the remarriage ends in divorce or death, the annuity is reinstated. Members who die on active duty are generally assumed to have retired with full disability on the day they died and to have elected full SBP coverage for spouses, former spouses, and/or children. If it is more beneficial for the survivors to have elected child only because of DIC offsets, the family has the option to make that election instead. If the death does not occur in the line of duty, the SBP benefit is based on the member’s years of service, rather than assuming a full disability retirement. Insurable interest elections may be applicable in some cases. These benefits have been improved and expanded over the history of the program. The surviving spouse (or dependent children if there is no surviving spouse or the spouse subsequently dies) of a reservist who dies in the line of service while performing IDT is entitled to an SBP annuity. For payments prior to December 23, 2016, the annuity is based on the reservist’s years of service. Effective December 23, 2016, the annuity is based on assuming the reservist retired with full disability and elected full SBP on the day of death. SBP annuities are generally reduced by any VA survivor benefits (e.g. Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)) and all premiums relating to the reductions are returned to the survivor. There is also a temporary Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance (SSIA) that pays a monthly amount ($50 in FY 2009 grading up to $310 in FYs 2017 and 2018) to survivors with a DIC offset. NDAA 2018 extended this allowance to a permanent benefit with annual cost-of-living adjustments. As a result of the so-called “Sharp Case” ruling, the SBP benefit of survivors with entitlement to both DIC and SBP who remarry after age 57 is not reduced by DIC benefits received.
As with retired pay, SBP annuities and premiums are annually increased with cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs). These COLAs are either full or reduced CPI increases, depending on the benefit formula covering the member. If a member who is subject to reduced COLAs dies before age 62, the survivor is subject to reduced COLAs until the member would have been 62. At that point, the annuity is increased to the amount that would have been payable had full COLAs been in effect. For survivors of members who elected the Career Status Bonus, the reduced COLAs continue annually thereafter. For reserve retirees, the retired pay reductions applicable under SBP take effect for survivor coverage after a reservist turns 60 (or earlier if they have certain active service) and begins to receive retired pay. The Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan (RC-SBP) provides annuities to survivors of reservists who die before age 60 (or earlier if they have certain active service), provided they attained 20 years of qualified service and elected to participate in the program (or were within their 90-day election window after receiving a “20-year letter”). However, if the death occurs in the line of duty either on active or inactive duty as described above, the survivor receives an annuity under SBP. The added cost of RC-SBP is borne completely by reservists through deductions from future retired pay. Beginning October 1, 2008, a paid-up provision eliminated the reduction in retired pay for premiums for SBP, RC-SBP and RSFPP coverage for participants age 70 or older whose retired pay has been reduced for at least 360 months. SBP premiums for members who elect lump sums under BRS will be equivalent to what they would have been without the lump sum, and consequently, the survivors' annuities will be equivalent to what they would have been without the lump sum. The maximum base amount will be equal to unreduced retired pay (i.e., ignoring the lump sum), premiums will be deducted only from monthly retired pay received, and SBP benefits will commence upon the retiree's death. As of September 30, 2017, there were 319 thousand survivors of military members receiving annuity and/or SSIA payments. In FY 2017, survivor pay entitlements totaled $3.95 billion. Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) NDAA 1993 (P.L. 102-484) granted temporary authority for the military services to offer early retirements to members with more than 15 but less than 20 years of service. This authority expired on September 1, 2002. The retired pay was calculated in the usual way except that there was a reduction of 1 percent for every year below 20 years of service. Part or all of this reduction can be restored at age 62 if the retired member works in a qualified public service job during the period from the date of retirement to the date on which the retiree would have completed 20 years of service. Unlike members who leave military service before 20 years with Voluntary Separation Incentives or Special Separation Benefits, these early retirees are generally treated like regular military retirees for the purposes of other retirement benefits. NDAA 2012 (P.L. 112-81) reinstated TERA authority, but without the qualified public service provision, through December 31, 2018. NDAA 2017 (P.L. 114-328) extended the TERA authority through December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2017, there were 68 thousand TERA retirees receiving retired pay. In FY
2017, TERA retirees’ pay entitlements totaled $1.2 billion. Cost-of-Living Increases All non-disability retirement, disability retirement, and most survivor annuities are adjusted annually for inflation. Cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) are automatically scheduled to occur every 12 months, on December 1st, to be included in benefits paid at the beginning of January. The “full” COLA effective December 1 is computed by calculating the percentage increase in the average CPI over the third quarter of the prior calendar year to the third quarter of the current calendar year. The increase is based on the Urban Wage Earner and Clerical Worker Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) and is rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent. Many members receive a “partial” COLA on December 1 of their first year of retirement to reflect the fact that they were not retired for the full year. For retirees (and most survivors) in paid status the full year, benefits are increased annually with the full COLA, except for those who entered the armed services on or after August 1, 1986, and elected the $30,000 Career Status Bonus. Benefits for this group are increased annually with a reduced COLA equal to the full COLA minus 1 percent (except if the full COLA is less than 1 percent). A one-time restoral is given to a reduced COLA recipient when the retiree is (or would have been) age 62. At this time, retired pay (or the survivor benefit if the retiree is deceased) is increased to the amount that would have been payable had full COLAs been in effect. Annual partial COLAs continue after this restoral. Relationship with Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides compensation for Service-connected and certain non-Service-connected disabilities. These VA benefits can be in place of or in combination with DoD retired pay, but through December 31, 2003, were not fully additive. Since VA benefits are exempt from federal income taxes, it is often to the advantage of a member to elect them. Through 2003, retired pay earned from DoD for military service was offset by any payment received from VA for a VA-rated disability. Beginning with NDAA 2004 (P.L. 108-136), a series of legislation has been enacted that increasingly reduces or eliminates the offset to military retired pay due to receipt of VA disability compensation. Members with a VA disability rating of 50 percent or greater who have at least 20 years of service will have their offset eliminated under the Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) program. The CRDP program had a ten-year phase-in schedule that began in 2004. Members whose disability meets certain combat-related criteria can elect to receive payments against the offset under the Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) program. Under CRSC, members are not required to have at least 20 years of service (per P.L. 110-181), and are not required to have at least a 50 percent VA disability rating. CRSC amounts are calculated based on retired pay lost due to offset and are paid from the Military Retirement Fund, but CRSC is not technically considered retired pay, although the NDAA 2017 enacted a provision to allow SBP premiums to be deducted from CRSC. CRSC payments are tax exempt. A member may not participate in both the CRDP and CRSC programs simultaneously, but may change from one to the other during an annual "open season."
For members who elect lump sums under BRS and qualify for VA disability compensation: (1) if the member is not eligible for CRDP or CRSC, the VA will withhold disability payments until the amount withheld equals the lump sum amount, after which VA disability payments, as an offset to retired pay, may be paid; (2) if the member is eligible for CRDP, no withholding of VA disability payments is required, and the retiree may receive VA disability compensation and retired pay without offset; and (3) if eligible for CRSC, the procedures for withholding VA disability payments are more complicated and relate to the portion of the total VA entitlement considered combat-related. VA benefits also overlap survivor benefits through the Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) program. DIC is payable to survivors of veterans who die from Service-connected causes. Although SBP annuities are generally reduced by the amount of any DIC benefit, all SBP premiums relating to the reduction in benefits are returned to the survivor. There is also a temporary Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance (SSIA) that pays a monthly amount (which has graded up to $310 in FYs 2017 and 2018) to survivors with a DIC offset. Prior to NDAA 2018 the authority for the allowance ended in May 2018; the NDAA 2018 made it a permanent benefit with annual COLA increases. As a result of the so-called “Sharp Case” ruling, the SBP benefit of survivors with entitlement to both DIC and SBP who remarry after age 57 is not reduced by DIC benefits received. Interrelationship with Other Federal Service For military retirement purposes, no credit is given for other federal service, except where cross- service transferability is allowed. Military service is generally creditable toward the federal civilian retirement systems if military retired pay is waived. However, a deposit (equal to a percentage of post-1956 basic pay) must be made to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund in order to receive credit. Military service is not generally creditable under both systems (but is for reservists and certain disability retirees). Military retirees may qualify separately for Civil Service retirement and receive concurrent pay from both systems. Relationship of Retired Pay to Military Compensation Basic pay is the only element of military compensation upon which non-disability retired pay is based and entitlement is determined. Basic pay is the principal element of military compensation that all members receive, but it is not representative, for comparative purposes, of salary levels in the public and private sectors. Reasonable comparisons can be made to regular military compensation (RMC). RMC is the sum of (1) basic pay, (2) the housing allowance, which varies by grade, location, and dependency status, (3) the subsistence allowance, and (4) the tax advantages accruing to the housing and subsistence allowances because they are not subject to federal income tax. Basic pay represents approximately 69 percent of RMC for all retirement eligible members. For the 20-year retiree, basic pay is approximately 67 percent of RMC. Consequently, a member retired with 20-years of service if entitled to 50 percent of basic pay, would only receive 33 percent of RMC. Further, such 20-year retirees (except for those who first entered service prior to September 8, 1980) receive a percentage (50 percent, or 40 percent for those under CSB/Redux or BRS) of their high 36-month average of basic pay, typically less than final basic pay. For a 30-year retiree, basic pay is approximately 72 percent of RMC and such
members if entitled to 75 percent of basic pay, would only receive 54 percent of RMC. Again, note that most members currently retiring with 30 years will actually receive a percentage (75 percent, or 60 percent for those under BRS) of their high 36-month average, rather than of their final basic pay. Public Law 109-364 allows certain members, who retire on or after January 1, 2007 with sufficient years of service (greater than 37.5 years under BRS and 30 years under the other benefit formulas), to retire with entitlements exceeding 75 percent of their high 36-month average of basic pay. These relationships should be considered when military retired pay is compared to compensation under other retirement systems. Social Security Benefits Many military members and their families receive monthly benefits indexed to the CPI from Social Security. As full participants in the Social Security system, military personnel are in general entitled to the same benefits and are subject to the same eligibility criteria and rules as other employees. Details concerning the benefits are covered in other publications. Beginning in 1946, Congress enacted a series of amendments to the Social Security Act that extended some benefits to military personnel and their survivors. These “gratuitous” benefits were reimbursed out of the general fund of the U.S. Treasury. The Servicemen’s and Veterans’ Survivor Benefits Act brought members of the military into the contributory Social Security system effective January 1, 1957. For the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program, military members must contribute the employee portion of the OASDI payroll tax, with the federal government contributing the matching employer contribution. Only the basic pay of a military member constitutes wages for Social Security purposes. One feature of OASDI unique to military personnel grants a noncontributory wage credit of (i) $300 for each quarter between 1956 and 1978 in which such personnel received military wages and (ii) up to $1,200 per year after 1977 ($100 of credit for each $300 of wages up to a maximum credit of $1,200). The purpose of this credit is to take into account elements of compensation such as quarters and subsistence not included in wages for Social Security benefit calculation purposes. Under the 1983 Social Security amendments, the cost of the additional benefits resulting from the noncontributory wage credits for past service was met by a lump sum payment from general revenues, while the cost for future service will be met by payment of combined employer-employee tax on such credits as the service occurs. Payments for these wage credits ended in 2002. Members of the military are also required to pay the Hospital Insurance (HI) payroll tax, with the federal government contributing the matching employer contribution. Medicare eligibility occurs at age 65, or earlier if the employee is disabled.

Notes: - Due to breaks in service and technical differences in the definition of qualifying years of service under different benefit systems, in some cases above it is not possible to precisely define which benefit systems cover the appropriate members based solely on dates of entry. The above table does not cover every possibility. - For additional up-to-date information, refer to the DoD Office of Military Compensation website (http://militarypay.defense.gov/).
