Military Retirement

[Guest fxbergmeister]

Question: DoD allows a service member to elect for a one time bonus of $30,000 vice more retirement in the choice of election between a High-3 or the REDUX /Bonus. ( See the OSD military compensation web site at http://militarypay.dtic.mil/actives/retire...ad/19_faqs.html )

How come the military spouse does not have to be consulted?

The retirement is ultimately affected by the service member's choice!

Thanks,

I'm surprised they don't require spouse approval. When I retired in 1989, my wife had to sign-off on my election to NOT enroll in the survivor benefit program. That's my .02 cents. Maverick
