CRSC Eligibility under Disability Retirement

[Manchu34]

The link to the source shows the charts better then it does here.


For those retirees who are eligible for CRSC entitlement, but retired under a disability retirement law, an offset is calculated before CRSC entitlement is calculated.

Example:

Disability Retirement Monthly Payment = $2000.00
Monthly Retirement Pay calculated based on years of service= $1500.00
Difference between two retirement methods $ 500.00

In the example given, $500.00 monthly, would be offset from any monthly CRSC entitlement computed.

Note: Retirement computations vary according to each individual retirement date, retirement age, and years in service. This example only to explain the calculation method.

Example CRSC entitlement amounts for approved Combat Related combined disability percentages less the $500.00 example offset amount are shown below using CRSC entitlements at the Vet only rates.

10% $ 117.00-$500.00 = $0.00 CRSC entitlement due
20% $ 230.00-$500.00 = $0.00 CRSC entitlement due
30% $ 356.00-$500.00 = $0.00 CRSC entitlement due
40% $ 512.00-$500.00 = $12.00 CRSC entitlement due
50% $ 721.00-$500.00 = $228.00 CRSC entitlement due
60% $ 117.00-$500.00 = $421.00 CRSC entitlement due
70% $1161.00-$500.00 = $661.00 CRSC entitlement due
80% $1349.00-$500.00 = $849.00 CRSC entitlement due
90% $1517.00-$500.00 = $1017.00 CRSC entitlement due
100% $2527.00-$500.00 = *$1500.00 CRSC entitlement due


* (note: Any entitlement due cannot exceed the retired pay amount computed based on years of service)
