=Like all our cases, yours too will be handled diligently by our expert lawyers who will take you through all there is to recognize about it while also building it. Unlike other cases, these are dealt with uniquely. In the spirit of protecting your rights, here are some nitty-gritties of military retirement plan you need to be familiar with:
  • It is paid monthly.
  • Based on a percentage of your basic income.
  • It is subject to tax.
  • Your benefits increase when you serve longer.
  • These benefits could perform as a category of life insurance.
  • Disability in the line of duty means additional benefits are included.
  • Those left behind when one dies in duty are eligible to benefits.
  • It is only the veterans with honorable discharges that are paid the retirement benefit in full.

The most recurring retirement challenge that necessitates legal presentation involves divorce cases. Just like other pensions, military retirement is also taken as “matrimonial property”. However, if the marriage has not reached the 10year mark, the benefits go directly to the spouse in service. Once received, the spouse gives a portion to his/her partner. In instances where the marriage was solid for over 10 years, the benefits are dispensed to both spouses directly.In the majority of states, this is called the 10/10 rule.

There is an exception to the division of benefits in the case of disability pay. Military disability retirement benefits, VA disability compensation, Concurrent Retirement and Disability pay also known as CRDP are all not subject to division. This in turn reduces to some extent the amount payable to the spouse of the service man or woman. In far worse instances, the spouse’s portion could be given the boot altogether.
​

Moreover, this is not the only way a spouse can lose their share to the benefit. The Survivor benefit plan (SBP) is a form of protection that protects your right to your share of the benefits in the unfortunate case when your spouse dies in the line of duty. If the SBP is not in place, or the veteran does not make an election of the benefactor before he/she retires, the spouse benefits can be lost. Give us a call at (707) 400-5023 for free
