CRSC Calculation Help

RonG said:
Hello Wolverine,

If the retiree had 24 years, 7 months active duty or equivalent, they would have qualified for a regular retirement (in addition to the CH 61 retirement) . Did the retiree have that number of active duty years?

Is he/she a reservist? Your remark, “
CH61 Retiree
Months of service: 295”. suggests a reservist or NG. Generally, the active duty equivalent would be total points for retirement divided by 360.

The retiree’s retirement orders should show “disability retirement years” or similar. That would be AD equivalent.

Perhaps you should confer with the retiree to obtain the accurate info if you have not already.

Regards,

Ron,

Yes, the retiree did have that many of active duty years.

He was not a reservist, all 24 years and 7 months were active duty

I have all of this information directly, and accurately from the friend who I am trying to help.

Thank you.

With this info:
CH61 Retiree
High 3 - $10,700
100% DOD
100% VA
90% CRSC
married with 3 dependents

The retiree will have his retired pay reduced by the amount of of VA compensation received.
He will receive CRDP that will restore all of the longevity portion of retired pay. Residual retired pay plus CRDP cannot exceed the longevity portion of the retirement pay.

With 90% CRSC, the retiree will have his retired pay reduced as above. However the replacement of waived retired pay will be only
the amount associated with 90% in the VA compensation tables for veteran with the number and categories of dependents. The combination of CRSC plus residual retired pay cannot exceed the longevity portion of retired pay.

In the scenario discussed above, CRDP provides the most money.

Ron,

You are a gentlemen and a scholar... thank you for your assistance!
 
Case.

CH61 Retiree (also qualifies for regular retirement)
High 3 - $10,700
100% DOD
100% VA
90% CRSC
married with 3 dependents

Estimate CRDP.

1. 10,700 Average of 36 months highest pay x 0.75 = 8025 retired pay
2. 8025 retired pay less ($3,352.41 + $84.69) = 4587.90 residual retired pay [note: guess at VA amount]
3. 24 yrs 7 mo (24.583 years x 0.025) = 61.46% longevity multiplier
4. 10,700 x 0.6146 = 6576.22 longevity portion of retired pay
5. 6576.22 - 4587.90 = 1988.32 CRDP
6. DFAS will pay: 4587.90 residual retired pay + 1988.32 CRDP = 6576.22

Note: The 10,700 high three is much more than what is usually seen here. The rate is likely for an O6 or above.

The “High three average base pay “ is the total of the highest 36 months of base pay divided by 36.
