CHAPTER 371 - COMPUTATION OF RETIRED PAY

-HEAD-

Sec. 3991. Computation of retired pay

-STATUTE-

(a) Computation. -

(1) Formula. - The monthly retired pay of a member entitled to

such pay under this subtitle is computed by multiplying -

(A) the member's retired pay base (as computed under section

1406(c) or 1407 of this title), by

(B) the retired pay multiplier prescribed in section 1409 of

this title for the number of years credited to the member under

section 1405 of this title.

(2) Additional 10 percent for certain enlisted members credited

with extraordinary heroism. - If a member who is retired under

section 3914 of this title has been credited by the Secretary of

the Army with extraordinary heroism in the line of duty, the

member's retired pay shall be increased by 10 percent of the

amount determined under paragraph (1) (but to not more than 75

percent of the retired pay base upon which the computation of

such retired pay is based). The Secretary's determination as to

extraordinary heroism is conclusive for all purposes.

(b) General Rules. -

(1) Use of most favorable formula. - If a person would

otherwise be entitled to retired pay computed under more than one

formula in subsection (a) or the table in section 1401 of this

title, he is entitled to be paid under the applicable formula

that is most favorable to him.

(2) Rounding to next lower dollar. - The amount computed under

subsection (a), if not a multiple of $1, shall be rounded to the

next lower multiple of $1.

(c) Special Rule for Retired Reserve Enlisted Members Covered by

Section 3963. - In the case of a Reserve enlisted member retired

under section 3914 of this title whose retired grade is determined

under section 3963 of this title and who first became a member of a

uniformed service before September 8, 1980, the retired pay base of

the member (notwithstanding section 1406(a)(1) of this title) is

the amount of the monthly basic pay of the member's retired grade

(determined based upon the rates of basic pay applicable on the

date of the member's retirement), and that amount shall be used for

the purposes of subsection (a)(1)(A) rather than the amount

computed under section 1406(c) of this title.

-------------------------------

In the introductory paragraph, the applicability of the rule

stated in the third sentence to situations not expressly covered by

the laws named in the source statutes above is a practical

construction that the rule must be reciprocally applied in all

cases.

In formula B, the words ''basic pay'' are substituted for the

words ''base and longevity pay'' to conform to the terminology of

the Career Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 802 (37 U.S.C. 231 et

seq.). The words ''his retired grade'' are substituted for the

words ''permanent grade held at time of retirement'' to reflect the

right to higher retired grade when qualified under other provisions

of law. 10:941a(e) (last proviso of clause (1)) is omitted, since,

under section 202 of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat.

807 (37 U.S.C. 233), the active duty pay of all members of the Army

is based upon years of service.

In formula C, the computation is based on monthly pay instead of

annual pay to conform to the other formulas of the revised

section. The words ''basic pay'' are substituted for the words

''active duty base and longevity pay'', and the words ''in

determining his basic pay'' are substituted for the words ''for

longevity pay purposes'', to conform to the terminology of the

Career Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 802 (37 U.S.C. 231 et

seq.). The words ''Monthly basic pay of member's retired grade''

are substituted for the words ''the rank upon which they are

retired'', in 10:971, and ''rank with which retired'', in 10:971b,

to reflect their right to advancement on the retired list. 10:971

now applies only when the retiring officer has 30 or more years of

service which may be credited in computing his retired pay. 10:971b

(2d proviso) is omitted, since, under section 202 of the Career

Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 807 (37 U.S.C. 233), the pay of

all members is based upon cumulative years of service. 10:971b (4th

proviso) is omitted as executed. 10:971b (last proviso) is omitted,

since the distinction between limited and unlimited retired lists

was abolished by section 201 of the act of June 29, 1948, ch. 708,

62 Stat. 1084. Sections 3918, 3920, and 3924 are included under

this formula, since it achieves the same result as is reached on a

basis of 30 years multiplied by 2 1/2 percent, and simplifies the

table.

In formulas D and E, the words ''credited under section 3925''

are substituted for the words ''active Federal service'', since

that revised section makes explicit the service covered. The act

of August 10, 1946, ch. 952, Sec. 6(c), 60 Stat. 996, is not

contained in 10:948. It is also omitted from the revised section as

executed. 10:980 now applies only when the retiring enlisted member

has at least 30 years of service which may be credited in computing

his retired pay. However, as noted above, 10:980 is the only

provision of law applicable to cases in which the retiring member

has at least 30 years of service. The act of June 16, 1942, ch.

413, Sec. 19 (63d through 75th words of 2d par.), 56 Stat. 369,

repealed so much of the act of March 2, 1907, ch. 2513, 34 Stat.

1217, as provided allowances for enlisted men on the retired list.

The repeal of section 19 of the act of June 16, 1942, by section

531(b)(34) of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 839,

did not revive that portion of the act of March 2, 1907, which had

been repealed by the act of June 16, 1942. Accordingly, the act of

March 2, 1907, as thus modified by the act of June 16, 1942, is

used as the basis for formula E.

Footnote 2 reflects the long-standing construction of those

provisions dealing with computation of retired pay which do not

specifically provide that the member is entitled to compute his

retired pay on the basis of the monthly basic pay to which he would

be entitled if he were on active duty in his retired grade. Except

in cases covered by formula C the pertinent basic computation

provisions for such retirement either provide for computation of

retired pay on the same basis as the provisions dealing with higher

retired grade, or the basic retirement provisions were themselves

enacted after the provisions authorizing higher retired grade. The

provisos of 10:1002 and 1005 are omitted as surplusage, since no

formula for the computation of retired pay includes inactive

service on the retired list as a credit.

The words ''at rates applicable on date of retirement and adjust

to reflect later changes in permanent rates'', in footnote 2; and

all of footnote 4; are based on the source statutes incorporated in

the formulas to which footnotes 2 and 4 apply.

In footnote 4, the words ''and disregard a part of a year that is

less than six months'' are made applicable to formulas A - E

although this part of the rule is expressed only as to formula B,

in 10:941a(e)(1). The legislative history of the Career

Compensation Act of 1949 (Hearings before the Committee on Armed

Services of the Senate on H.R. 5007, 81st Congress, first session,

p. 313, July 6, 1949) indicates that the provisions, upon which

formulas A and C - E are based, should be construed to require that

a part of a year that is less than six months be disregarded.

for years of service credited under section 1405 for sections 3911,

3918, 3920, and 3924 and for the years of service credited under

section 3925 for sections 3914 and 3917, eliminated monthly basic

pay of a member's retired grade or to which a member was entitled

on the day before he retired multiplied by 2 1/2 percent of the

years of service credited, subject to footnotes 1 to 4, as the

substituted ''Before applying percentage factor, credit each full

month of service that is in addition to the number of full years of

service creditable to the member as one-twelfth of a year and

disregard any remaining fractional part of a month'' for ''Before

applying percentage factor, credit a part of a year that is six

months or more as a whole year, and disregard a part of a year that

is less than six months''.

1980 - Pub. L. 96-513, Sec. 512(10), in heading for column 1 of

the table substituted ''after September 7, 1980'' for ''on or after

the date of the enactment of the Department of Defense

Authorization Act, 1981''.

Pub. L. 96-342 in heading for column 1 of the table inserted

provisions respecting applicability to persons becoming members

after the date of the enactment of the Department of Defense

Authorization Act, 1981.

redesignated Formulas B, C, and D as A, B, and C, respectively.

Pub. L. 96-513, Sec. 502(22), in footnote numbered 1 to the table

substituted ''3962(b)'' for ''3962(c)''.

1967 - Pub. L. 90-207 inserted '', or if the member has served as

sergeant major of the Army, compute at the highest basic pay

applicable to him while he so served, if such basic pay is

greater'' after ''retirement'' in footnote 3 of the table.

1963 - Pub. L. 88-132 substituted in column 1 of Formula A in

table ''Monthly basic pay of member's retired grade'' for ''Monthly

basic pay to which member would be entitled if he were on active

duty in his retired grade'' and eliminated from footnote 2 to such

table ''and adjust to reflect later changes in applicable permanent

rates. However, if member's retired grade is determined under

section 3963(a) or 3963(b), or if member has served 4 years as

Chief of the Medical Service Corps, use pay to which member would

be entitled if he were on active duty in his retired grade'' after

''date of retirement.''

1958 - Pub. L. 85-861 substituted ''section 3962(c)'' for

''section 3962(d)'' in footnote 1, and ''3963(a)'' for ''3962(c),

3963(a)'' in footnote 2.

Formula B. Pub. L. 85-422, Sec. 11(a)(5), substituted ''credited

to him under section 1405 of this title'' for ''credited to him in

determining basic pay'' in Column 2.

applied for retirement'' in Column 1.

Formula D. Pub. L. 85-422, Sec. 6(8), substituted ''monthly basic

pay to which member was entitled on day before he retired'' for

''Monthly basic pay of member's retired grade'' in Column 1.

which related to inapplicability of section 3962(a), and inserted

provisions permitting computation at the highest rates of basic pay

applicable to an officer who has served as Chief of Staff while he

served in that office.

1957 - Pub. L. 85-155 redesignated formulas ''B'' to ''E'' of the

table as formulas ''A'' to ''D''. Former formula ''A'', which

The words ''basic pay * * * as the case may be'' are inserted to

conform to the terminology of the Career Compensation Act of 1949,

63 Stat. 802 (37 U.S.C. 231 et seq.). The words ''at the rate

prescribed by law for his length of service'', in 10:1004, are

omitted as covered by the words ''base and longevity pay''. The

words ''base and longevity pay'' are retained to cover the cases of

members retired before the enactment of the Career Compensation Act

of 1949, and advanced on the retired list after the enactment of

that act. The words ''and disregard a part of a year that is less

than six months'' are inserted to conform to footnote 4 of section

3991 of this title.

codification of title 10 in 1956 relating to retirement pay of

warrant officers advanced on the retired list. For further

details, see the explanation for amendment of 10:1405 made by

section 1(17).

AMENDMENTS

1994 - Pub. L. 103-337 amended section generally. Prior to

provision in column 1 that for a person who first became a member

of a uniformed service, as defined in section 1407(a)(2), after

Sept. 7, 1980, one multiplier is the monthly retired pay base as

computed under section 1407(c), substituting in formulas A and B

provision that the retired pay base as computed under section

1406(c) or 1407 of this title be multiplied by the retired pay

multiplier prescribed in section 1409 of this title for the number

of years credited for provisions that the monthly basic pay or base

and longevity pay, as the case may be, subject to footnote 1, of

the grade to which the member is advanced on the retired list be

multiplied by 2 1/2% of years of service credited, subject to

footnote 2, and have subtracted from it the excess over 75% of pay

upon which the computation is based, struck out footnote 1, which

provided that the computation be at the rate applicable on the date

of retirement, and redesignated footnote 2 as 1 and substituted

''In determining retired pay multiplier'' for ''Before applying

percentage factor'' and ''1/12'' for ''one-twelfth''.

1983 - Pub. L. 98-94, Sec. 922(a)(8), inserted ''The amount

recomputed, if not a multiple of $1, shall be rounded to the next

substituted ''Before applying percentage factor, credit each full

month of service that is in addition to the number of full years of

service creditable to the member as one-twelfth of a year and

disregard any remaining fractional part of a month'' for ''Before

applying percentage factor, credit a part of a year that is six
