What are the 2016 Involuntary Separation Pay levels? (chart)

Most members involuntarily separated from active duty are eligible for separation pay. The figures shown below are the payments to people who have exactly the number of years of service listed; actual payments are based on both full and partial years of service. A dash in the chart indicates that none of the services reported any members with that combination of years and paygrade.

REMINDER: Federal law (10 U.S. Code § 1174) requires the VA to withhold compensation pay for veterans separation pay, severance pay, and readjustment pay, less any federal taxes already paid.

Good FYI. A good portion of the separation pay will be tax as the pay will push income higher for the year.

I have 3 unsolicited advicements.
1. Let your PEBLO be the one belly button for most actions.
2. If something feels wrong then tap the breaks. It is easier to fix the incipient stages of the MEB.
3. During the MEB process you will get angry and worn down. Do what is right and fight for it. Don't quit.

My separation pay was giving after discharge but after a year & half later in serving as a Reservice; the VA told me that i was able to receive VA benefits because i received Sep. Pay or something of that. Not sure what happened but i was able to return to Active Status and had to STOP VA compensation because of Tittle-10 duty. But the question here is now that I am able to retire with 20+AD service...how does all that in the past affect my pension/retirement????
