Download or read book An Overview of Past Proposals for Military Retirement Reform written by John Christian and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By one estimate, between fiscal years 1995 and 2005, total compensation costs for current and former military personnel increased by almost 60 percent. The military retirement benefit remains a significant portion of these costs, and every change to accessions, retention, and basic pay today will have a future effect on pension expenditures. This technical report provides an overview of the history of U.S. military retirement studies and associated legislation, with a particular focus on the past 60 years of proposed reforms. It is organized around the following five major issues that have driven attempts at retirement system reform: cost, equity, selective retention, civilian comparability, and force management flexibility. The author finds that cost alone is reason to analyze the current retirement system, and reform proposals of the past have focused carefully on cost. However, he also finds that, as the military's mission evolves over time, it is also important to consider the sometimes subtle incentive effects that the retirement system has on service member behavior. Beyond considerations of cost, reform of the military retirement system necessarily involves ramifications for force structure and operational readiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses military retirement. Concerned about its ability to retain personnel, the Department of Defense (DOD) has proposed pay and retirement changes in its fiscal year 2000 budget. The pay proposal includes a 4.4 percent, across-the-board raise and pay table reform that will target increases to noncommissioned officers and mid-grade commissioned officers. The retirement change proposed by DOD is essentially a partial repeal of the 1986 Military Retirement Reform Act, which is commonly called "Redux." After providing background on the differences among the various military retirement systems and how those differences came into being, it will address (1) changes being proposed by DOD; (2) areas where we believe more information is needed; and (3) the opportunity to take a long-term, strategic view of the military compensation system. But first, it will summarize our observations regarding DOD's proposed changes to the military retirement system. Overall, we see no clear indication that the proposed change to the retirement system, which would cost an estimated $13 billion in increased costs and unfunded liabilities, will address the retention issue. While the recently reported downturn in retention rates is of concern, the nature of the retention problem is not clear. Is the problem widespread or is it concentrated in certain military occupations or year groups? Is it a transitory problem attributable to such factors as reduced accessions during the drawdown and the strong economy, or is it the beginning of a long-term problem that will affect the military for the foreseeable future? Understanding the nature of the retention problem is critical in choosing solutions-pockets of problems are best treated with targeted rather than across-the-board solutions, and transitory problems are best treated with actions that can be reversed or eliminated once the problem has receded.

Download or read book A Policy Analysis of Reserve Retirement Reform written by Beth J. Asch and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the burden of defense borne by reserve forces has increased, more attention has been paid to differences between the compensation systems for the reserve and active components. One particular emphasis is on the retirement systems, a key difference being that reserve members who complete 20 years must wait until age 60 to draw benefits whereas active members can draw benefits immediately upon discharge. This monograph compares the reserve and active retirement systems, discusses the importance of structuring compensation to enable flexibility in managing active and reserve manpower, describes how the debate over reserve retirement reform has differed from active component retirement reform debate, and considers obstacles to reform and how they might be overcome. It also provides a quantitative assessment of several past congressional proposals to change the reserve retirement system in terms of their effects on reserve participation and personnel costs, concluding that proposals to reduce the age at which eligible members may begin receiving retirement benefits are not cost-effective means of sustaining or increasing reserve component retention. It also concludes that a menu of member options can be a powerful tool to maintain morale and overcome obstacles to reform. Current members could be given the choice of staying in the current retirement system or joining the new one, and the choice might be offered over a period of time, say five years. New entrants and reentrants with few years of service might be placed under the new system.
Download or read book Twenty Years of Service written by Brandon J. Archuleta and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military pension policies are as old as the republic itself and reside at the intersection of American social, economic, and defense policy. But as the nation’s social and economic circumstances underwent dramatic changes over the last half century, military pension policy remained static, stuck in the personnel and retirement model of the industrial age. This book examines why. Integrating policy history, theory, and practice, Twenty Years of Service provides the most comprehensive examination of US military pension policy in a generation. Brandon J. Archuleta sets the stage with an exploration of the rise, evolution, and transformation of the veterans’ policy subsystem from the American Revolution through World War II. The ensuing theoretical overview explains how the military personnel policy subsystem achieved the autonomy it enjoyed from 1948 to 2018; it also offers a new perspective on autonomous policy subsystems in general, which helps to account for the long-term pension policy stasis. In practical terms, Archuleta explores the role of the successful 2015 Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission as an institutional venue for policy change during the congressional budget battles of the 2010s. Through extensive archival research, illustrative case studies, and field interviews with Pentagon bureaucrats, congressional staffers, veterans’ lobbyists, defense scholars, and journalists, Twenty Years of Service brings the policymaking process to life. Its insights will prove invaluable to policy scholars and defense practitioners alike.
