A member who is being medically retired is due the rest of their bonus payments! I just went through this process. Its a pain in the butt and youhave to constantly call DFAS to ensure the case is be ing done. Before you leave for your base/post make sure a CMS case file is being done. For AF you can view the CMS case right off virtual MPF.
DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU NO. THIS BENEFIT IS OWED TO YOU! LIKE I SAID, THIS IS TRUE AND I JUST RECIEVED MINE.
* 020203. Conditions Under Which Repayment Will Not Be Sought. As a general rule, repayment action will not be pursued in situations in which the member’s inability to fulfill specified service conditions related to a pay or benefit is due to circumstances determined reasonably beyond the member’s control. Payment of any unpaid portion of the pay or benefit will be subject to the rules in Table 2-1, which in appropriate circumstances provide discretion to the Secretary of the Military Department concerned to pay unearned portions based on case-by-case determinations.
* A. Repayment will not be sought and any remaining unpaid portion of a pay or benefit due to a member under a written agreement that existed at the time of the member’s death, which was not the result of the member’s misconduct, is payable as a lump sum in the settlement of the decedent’s final military pay entitlements.
* B. Repayment will not be sought and any remaining unpaid portion of a pay or benefit due to a member under a written agreement shall be paid at the time of separation or retirement for a disability described under
10 U.S.C., chapter 61 that was incurred in the line of duty in a combat zone designated by the President of the United States or the Secretary of Defense, or in combat-related operation designated by the Secretary of Defense, and/or for a combat-related disability, as defined under 10 U.S.C. 1413a(e). In such case, any remaining unpaid portion of a pay or benefit due to a member shall be paid to the member upon separation from service. Repayment will be sought and any unpaid balances may not be paid to members who incur a disability because of their misconduct, as defined in 10 U.S.C. 1207. In all other instances involving a member’s separation for medical reasons not falling under 10 U.S.C., chapter 61 which were not the result of the member’s misconduct, the Secretary of the Military Department concerned has the discretion to determine whether to require repayment of the unearned portion of the pay or benefit, or to pay an unpaid balance of a pay or benefit.
