Are reenlistment bonuses recouped with a family care plan chapter?

I’ve been searching around and I’m having a hard time getting a good answer on this.

I’m recently a single parent, soon to be official and requiring a FCP. If I’m unable to develop a valid FCP, and I receive an involuntary chapter, will my res enlistment bonus be recouped?

I’ve also had to extend to fulfill the terms of my reclass since the original reenlistment with the bonus of that has any effect.

Thanks in advance.

If the bonus is tied to the reclass, then yes, it will be recouped

Yes they are. It is recouped at a prorated amount at the pretax value. You will have to file an amended tax return to recoup the portion you paid taxes on.
