Go to the site below.  Look under Current Compensation Tables.  In order to know the true figure, you will need to know how many dependents (wife, kids, parents) he claims.\n\nThe result will be anywhere from $1,277 to $1,637 (tax free) per month.

I have not heard that, but I believe the soldiers deserve it.\n\nAs for the other poster...I remember it being like $110 as well and always thought it was odd how they could put a dollar figure on hazardous duty.\n\nI wish your family the best with your husbands deployment and a safe and speedy return for him.

It depends on the type of income. Most often, I think it is at a flat 20%, if withholding is done at all. If it is in the nature of a pension, withholding is done as if it were wages.

expect 27% taken off the top if he is re upping Stateside or  other wise not in HFP territory.  \n\nSRBs are paid separately from the 15th and 1st pay, so IF (and I stress IF) PSD has their ducks in a row, he should get it fairly quickly(within 10 days).  If not, well, it could be months....

There are probably no benefits from the Army unless he was given a disability retirement.\n\nYou may have various VA benefits, based on the classification of his discharge, reason for discharge, and length of service.  Contact the nearest VA office for information, or go here:  http://www.va.gov/

You don't need a lawyer about veteran benefits.\nContact a local Veteran's Service Officer.\nThere is usually one assigned to your county (sometimes more, depending on the size of your community).\nIf you belong to a veteran's organization, VFW, American Legion, etc.. they usually have someone there that handles veteran benefits.\nEither way, they'll help ypu get the information that you are looking for.\n\nYou can look up what the VA can offer on there website at, http://www.va.gov/\nGood Luck

They don't calculate it based on what you make.  I think the max amount is $206/week.  It depends on what you earned one year ago, whether or not you will receive the full benefit.  It ain't much, but it's better than nothin'!

good lord!, how can you say your a loser when you are actually retiring with a PENSION!!! how many people can say that! not to mention you stuck it out in the military  for 20 years. ok, sure it would be better to get to e9 but as you know it can be a long hard crawl in the air force. the best advice i can give you is this "GET YOUR DEGREE!" before you leave, its the military's best deal.  if you had high enough asvab test scores to get in the air force there is no excuse! i still owe thousands for my education so don't let that happen to you. good luck and thanks for serving.

It is in the divorce decree that he shares a portion of his pension earned while they were married.  Considered both of their savings.

The rule is that your aunt's social security check cannot be reduced on a net basis from the prior year, but if her social security increase is greater than the increase in the medicare premium, then her medicare premium can be increased.  The problem lately has been that medical inflation has exceeded the inflation in ordinary prices.  It is likely that she is fixed in income for the rest of her life given the disparity between medical inflation and consumer inflation on which social security is based.  I doubt she will see a net pay increase ever again, based upon the numbers and barring real health care reform.\n\nWhile that looks like a lot, although I am just guestimating, I have recently reviewed employee health coverages.  I suspect the average 82 year old should be paying a monthly premium well in excess of $500 per month.  Her health care costs are being heavily subsidized by workers, taxpayers and future taxpayers.  It sounds like an enormous amount, but it is well below her cost to the system unless she is in very good health.  Medicare is an insurance policy just like any other, except that the beneficiaries do not always have to pay their full share of the premium.

I understand your concern, I reach full retirement age in November of this year, but with limits I can still make a significant income.  Between my wife and I we can do quite well.\n\nIt is the new medical programs that are interesting.\n\n\n\nUnder federal law, people who are receiving Social Security benefits who have not reached full retirement age are entitled to receive all of their benefits as long as their earnings are under the limits indicated below. In 2006, the full retirement age is 65 and 8 months. The full retirement age will increase gradually each year until it reaches age 67 for people born in 1960 or later.\n\nAt full retirement age or older\n2005\nNo limit on earnings\n2006\nNo limit on earnings\n\nUnder full retirement age\n2005\n$12,000 / For every $2 over the limit, $1 is withheld from benefits.\n\nIn the year you reach full retirement age \n2005\n$31,080 / For every $3 over the limit, $1 is withheld from benefits until the month you reach full retirement age.\n2006\n$33,240 / For every $3 over the limit, $1 is withheld from benefits until the month you reach full retirement age..

The equal, annual payment for years 24 - 40 would be $40.\n\nIt's a multi-step process. First you must find the present value of the security at the end of year 23 - which is $364.87. Then you can find the payment amount using the PMT formula in Excel. The rate =.08, the NPER=17 (number of periods), the PV=$364.87 (present value), the FV=0 (future value) and the type=0 (payment at end of period) for an answer of $40.00049067.

Contact your State VA office and ask them for assistance.  They can help you get your claim in and through all of the Fed VA run-arounds.  \n\nWhen I retired last year I was informed by a State VA Rep that the Fed VA wasn't my friend as they were the ones who were going to pay on any claim.  The State VA however didn't pay off but they knew the same info as the Feds.

This is really a tricky question because it depends.  If he is looking at retireing then RA is the way to go.  After 20 years we get full retirement, no waiting.  If he goes NG then its still a 20 year retirement but you cant collect till your 65.\n\nHe can still qualify for a bonus as well, just because he's prior service it does not DQ him from it.\n\nAlso if he goes RA he will go to what we call Warrior Training Course not BT.  \n\nAlso for RA he will also be covered with all medical and dental.  In the NG he will only be covered when he is in training or activated.  You will also be covered when he is RA.\n\nGood luck on your decision\n\nUnfortunatly I cannot tell you about the bonuses It's all based on needs of the Army and the Guard.  \n\nWarrior Course is 4 to 5 weeks long I cant remember which, this is a course designed for people that have been through basic training once either in the Navy or Airforce and gives them the basics of land warfare.  It is held at Ft Bliss, Texas.  I am currently a recruiter and am sorry some of the recruiters may not give you all the info you need.  If you have any specific questions feel free to email me @ armyof1recruiter2000@yahoo.com.
