Sec. 1035. Deposits of savings

-STATUTE-

(a) Under joint regulations prescribed by the Secretaries

concerned, a member of the armed forces who is on a permanent duty

assignment outside the United States or its possessions may deposit

during that tour of duty not more than his unallotted current pay

and allowances in amounts of $5 or more, with any branch, office,

or officer of a uniformed service. Amounts so deposited shall be

deposited in the Treasury and kept as a separate fund, and shall be

accounted for in the same manner as public funds.

(b) Interest at a rate prescribed by the President, not to exceed

10 percent a year, will accrue on amounts deposited under this

section. However, the maximum amount upon which interest may be

paid under this subsection to any member is $10,000, except that

such limitation shall not apply to deposits made on or after

September 1, 1966, in the case of those members in a missing status

during the Vietnam conflict, the Persian Gulf conflict, or a

contingency operation. Interest under this subsection shall

terminate 90 days after the member's return to the United States or

its possessions.

(c) Except as provided in joint regulations prescribed by the

Secretaries concerned, payments of deposits, and interest thereon,

may not be made to the member while he is on duty outside the

United States or its possessions.

(d) An amount deposited under this section, with interest

thereon, is exempt from liability for the member's debts, including

any indebtedness to the United States or any instrumentality

thereof, and is not subject to forfeiture by sentence of a

court-martial.

(e) The Secretary concerned, or his designee, may in the interest

of a member who is in a missing status or his dependents, initiate,

stop, modify, and change allotments, and authorize a withdrawal of

deposits, made under this section, even though the member had an

opportunity to deposit amounts under this section and elected not

to do so. Interest may be computed from the day the member entered

a missing status, or September 1, 1966, whichever is later.

(f) The Secretary of Defense may authorize a member of the armed

forces who is on a temporary duty assignment outside of the United

States or its possessions in support of a contingency operation to

make deposits of unallotted current pay and allowances during that

duty as provided in subsection (a). The Secretary shall prescribe

regulations establishing standards and procedures for the

administration of this subsection.

(g) In this section:

(1) The term ''missing status'' has the meaning given that term

in section 551(2) of title 37.

(2) The term ''Vietnam conflict'' means the period beginning on

February 28, 1961, and ending on May 7, 1975.

(3) The term ''Persian Gulf conflict'' means the period

beginning on January 16, 1991, and ending on the date thereafter

of Military Justice) if the sentence, as approved, includes a

dismissal, dishonorable discharge, bad conduct discharge, or

forfeiture of all pay and allowances; and

(B) in the case of a member being considered under applicable

regulations for administrative separation from active duty in

accordance with such regulations (if the basis for the separation

includes a dependent-abuse offense), shall commence as of the

date on which the separation action is initiated by a commander

of the member pursuant to such regulations, as determined by the

Secretary concerned.

(2) Transitional compensation with respect to a member shall be

paid for a period of 36 months, except that, if as of the date on

active duty service; or

(B) 12 months.

(3)(A) If a member is sentenced by a court-martial to receive

punishment that includes a dismissal, dishonorable discharge, bad

conduct discharge, or forfeiture of all pay and allowances as a

result of a conviction by a court-martial for a dependent-abuse

offense and each such punishment applicable to the member under the

sentence is remitted, set aside, or mitigated to a lesser

punishment that does not include any such punishment, any payment

of transitional compensation that has commenced under this section

on the basis of such sentence in that case shall cease.

(B) If administrative separation of a member from active duty is

proposed on a basis that includes a dependent-abuse offense and the

proposed administrative separation is disapproved by competent

authority under applicable regulations, payment of transitional

compensation in such case shall cease.

(C) Cessation of payments under subparagraph (A) or (B) shall be

effective as of the first day of the first month following the

month in which the Secretary concerned notifies the recipient of

such transitional compensation in writing that payment of the

transitional compensation will cease. The recipient may not be

required to repay amounts of transitional compensation received

before that effective date (except to the extent necessary to

recoup any amount that was erroneous when paid).

(f) Amount of Payment. - (1) Payment to a spouse or former spouse

under this section for any month shall be at the rate in effect for

former spouse receiving compensation under this section remarries,

the Secretary shall terminate payment of such compensation,

effective as of the date of such marriage. The Secretary may not

renew payment of compensation under this section to such former

spouse in the event of the termination of such subsequent marriage.

(2) If after a punitive or other adverse action is executed in

the case of a former member as described in subsection (b) the

former member resides in the same household as the spouse or former

spouse, or dependent child, to whom compensation is otherwise

payable under this section, the Secretary shall terminate payment

of such compensation, effective as of the time the former member

begins residing in such household. Compensation paid for a period

resides in the household, shall not be recouped. If the former

member subsequently ceases to reside in such household before the

end of the period of eligibility for such payments, the Secretary

may not resume such payments.

(3) In a case in which the victim of the dependent-abuse offense

resulting in a punitive or other adverse action described in

subsection (b) was a dependent child, the Secretary concerned may

not pay compensation under this section to a spouse or former

subsection (k)) that the spouse or former spouse was an active

participant in the conduct constituting the dependent-abuse

offense.

(h) Effect of Continuation of Military Pay. - In the case of

payment of transitional compensation by reason of a total

forfeiture of pay and allowances pursuant to a sentence of a

court-martial, payment of transitional compensation shall not be

made for any period for which an order -

(1) suspends, in whole or in part, that part of a sentence that

includes forfeiture of the member's pay and allowance; or

(2) otherwise results in continuation, in whole or in part, of

the member's pay and allowances.

(i) Coordination of Benefits. - The Secretary concerned may not

make payments to a spouse or former spouse under both this section

and section 1408(h)(1) of this title. In the case of a spouse or

former spouse for whom a court order provides for payments by the

Secretary pursuant to section 1408(h)(1) of this title and to whom

the Secretary offers payments under this section, the spouse or

former spouse shall elect which to receive.

use commissary and exchange stores under paragraph (1) is eligible

or entitled to use commissary and exchange stores under another

regulations to carry out this section with respect to the armed

forces (other than the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a

service in the Navy). The Secretary of Homeland Security shall

prescribe regulations to carry out this section with respect to the

Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy.

(2) Regulations prescribed under paragraph (1) shall include the

criminal offenses, or categories of offenses, under the Uniform

Code of Military Justice (chapter 47 of this title), Federal

criminal law, the criminal laws of the States and other

jurisdictions of the United States, and the laws of other nations

that are to be considered to be dependent-abuse offenses for the

purposes of this section.
