How is the Army severance pay calculated when you have Active duty time as well as guard and reserves?

I am curious how the army severance pay breaks down if I have been in all components in my career. According to my ERB and LES my entry based date is from 2010. I am wondering if they will go back to then or from the time that I entered active duty. This is for a medical Evaluation Board.

LTC Kevin B. or SFC James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" - do you either of you have any ideas? I don't remember getting any sort of severance pay when I ETS'ed back in 2008.

It goes off your Active Duty time. Your BASD should have been adjusted when you re entered active duty, giving you credit for any prior active time you served.

Were you hurt during a deployment? If you were the funds change.

I was med separated in 2001 with a total of 9 years AD time both guard and AD and got 2 years base pay as my severance, I don’t know if is still the same.

They will do a computation of service which will calculate your total AD time which is a combination of reserve, AD, NG service. I don’t remember the formula they use but it won’t be your BASD.
