Handbook For Retired Soldiers And Family Members

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL — Sun, 25 Oct 2015 22:14:11 -0400

Would like to share with All.

1-1. Handbook for Retired Soldiers and Their Family Members

a. This handbook outlines military status after retirement, discusses benefits and privileges, and provides other information, which may be helpful in administering personal affairs.

b. The benefits and privileges referred to in the handbook apply to soldiers who have retired from the U.S Army since its date of publication and are receiving Army retired pay. In the case of a retired reserve soldier with 20 qualifying years, entitlement to receive Army retired pay is not established until age 60.

c. This handbook should be made available to family members because it contains information concerning rights, benefits, and privileges to which they are entitled as a result of a spouse’s military service.
d. Many of the benefits listed are administered by government agencies other than Department of the Army. Eligibility for these benefits is determined by the government agency responsible.

Great resource. Just keep in mind that as an unofficial document, it is only as current as the day it was written.
