CRSC UNDER DISABILITY RETIREMENT 6 June 2008
Posted by Service Officer on June 6th, 2008
For disabled Chapter 61 retirees who retired under a disability retirement law who are eligible for CRSC entitlement, an offset is calculated before CRSC entitlement is calculated. To determine the amount of offset subtract your DoD monthly retirement pay calculated based on years of service prior to retirement from the VA disability retirement monthly payment for the CSRS percentage assigned. Retirement computations vary according to each individual’s retirement date, retirement age, and years in service. The figures in the following example are only to explain the calculation method.
• Disability Retirement Monthly Payment = $2000.00
• Monthly Retirement Pay calculated based on years of service = $1500
• Difference between two retirement methods (i.e. Offset) = $500
Example CRSC entitlement amounts for approved Combat Related combined disability percentages less the $500.00 example offset amount using CRSC entitlements at the Vet only rates would be:
10% $ 117.00- $500.00 = $0.00 CRSC entitlement due
20% $ 230.00- $500.00 = $0.00 CRSC entitlement due
30% $ 356.00- $500.00 = $0.00 CRSC entitlement due
40% $ 512.00- $500.00 = $12.00 CRSC entitlement due
50% $ 721.00- $500.00 = $228.00 CRSC entitlement due
60% $ 117.00- $500.00 = $421.00 CRSC entitlement due
70% $1161.00- $500.00 = $661.00 CRSC entitlement due
80% $1349.00- $500.00 = $849.00 CRSC entitlement due
90% $1517.00- $500.00 = $1017.00 CRSC entitlement due
100% $2527.00- $500.00 = $1500.00 CRSC entitlement due *
* (Note: Any entitlement due cannot exceed the retired pay amount computed based on years of service)
