No, a disability retirement may be effected on any day of the month. Unless you request a specific date, most disability retirements are approved for the day before the last day of the month.
Unlike an active duty Marine, retirees are paid once a month.
Yes. After MMSR-4 is notified that you have been found fit we will ask via official correspondence if you want to return to active duty. If you answer yes, you will be contacted by CMC (MCRC) for coordination of orders for return to active duty and discharge from the TDRL. If you answer no, you will be discharged from the TDRL.
If you were found fit for duty and discharged from the TDRL, you are not entitled to severance pay.
If it was determined by your doctor that your condition is not deferrable and you need to be extended on active duty for treatment, your command will need to prepare an extension of contract due to medical NAVMC 321 (M) and submit this form to CMC MMSR-4 per MARADMIN 229/17.
No, your command should contact CMC MMSR-4 with the reason for delay and the estimated completion date and request an extension of contract via NAVMC 321(M) see MARADMIN 229/17.
Yes. Per MCO 1900.16 w/ch1 par 8108 Active duty Marines with less than 20 years of service and more than 16 are eligible to submit a PLD request to complete 20 years of active duty.
Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) and Concurrent Retirement Disability Pay (CRDP) are programs created by Congress to allow eligible military retirees to receive monthly entitlements in addition to retired pay. CRSC is a special compensation for combat-related disabilities.
You may be eligible for CRSC with a combat-related disability, but in order to be paid compensation, you must have an offset to your retired pay for VA disability compensation. Therefore, you must obtain a VA rating and be receiving disability compensation in order to qualify.
The TDRL is a list of Marines found to be unfit for performance of military duties by reason of physical disability which may be permanent, but which has not sufficiently stabilized to permit an accurate assessment of a permanent degree of disability.
If your disability is found to be permanent and is rated at 30 percent or greater by the Navy Physical Evaluation Board (PEB), or you have 20 or more years of service, you will be placed on the Permanent Disability Retired List(PDRL).
Summary: Military retirement pay based on age or length of service is considered taxable income for Federal income taxes. However, military disability retirement pay and Veterans’ benefits, including service-connected disability pension payments, may be partially or fully excluded from taxable income.
