I do not believe that any political issues are involved with most of this. All of these issues will be too late to effect the voting process, and that is the way it should be. On top of that on the 100% IU issue, it only affects about 133,000. On the 100% IU issue, that is a done deal. DFAS has reported to congress that "barring and problems" all backpay to the 100% IU folks will be in the 3 Nov 08 paycheck.

This was a lot easier of an issue to compute than the CRDP...

I don't think he will offer it as a "Bill" but add on to the Defense Bill. Then it will go to committee. I expect it to pass, but with strings attached. Me I like the "Old Man" McCain, but I have a Son in the Army (July goes to Iraq) and personally don't want us there another 100 years. I understand we need the IRAQ Oil and I hope we have a long term plan.

If I had to guess full CR will be awarded, but on some BS like only 90% guys. Then next year 80 and...

Thanks Brian
I could use the offset money to buy a tank of gas. When and if the backpay ever comes I could use that too. I'm sure the folks in Washington are
working non-stop looking for a way to wiggle out paying the backpay if they can.

Gary,

You are correct on your first question. I do not know for sure how they are going to handle the backpay issue.

It's my understanding that IU's regardless of percentage will be completely restored on Oct 1 2008. Is this not correct?
I've also been told that back pay for IU's will be paid after That date. Is this wishful thinking on my part and am
I in for yet another disappointment?

No. 50% and greater, but phased in through 2014.

gary,

Look at it this way. There are no ratings between 90% and 100%.

Don't know why, but the "but less than 90%" scares the heck outa me. I've seem them miss-word legislation in the past
and then take forever to correct it, if at all. OK call me a skeptical old fool! I'd feel better if it were worded "50% but less than 100 %
Would almost wet my pants if it read "concurrent receipt regardless of percentage including chapter 61 retiree's!!

No. Anyone with 50% or greater will receive their full CRDP as long as you did your 20.
