A DISCUSSION OF THE RETIRED SERVICE
MAN'S FAMILY PROTECTION PLAN - In 1953
the Congress enacted the UniformedS^r^ces
Contingency Option Act which, allowed ret
ired service members (including those
transferred to the Fleet Reserve), to
provide an annuity for their wives/or
children upon the service member's death
AFTER retirement. Simply, it meant that
you could contribute part of your retired
pay to a fund which would pay for the
annuity plan. You would receive less ret
ired pay during retirement but upon your
death, your wife/and or/children could
receive up to half of your reduced ret
ired pay. If you did not come under this
plan, upon your death, your retired pay M
ceased once and for all. *
This plan has now been modernized,. It
has been re-named- the Retired Serviceman1
Family Protection Plan, Usually, you
should make a decision between your 17th
and 18th year of service for pav purposes
as to whether or not you desire to part
icipate, But, if you have more than 18
years of service for pay purposes, you
can still make an election or modificat
ion of previous election. In this case
though, the election or modification
would not become effective unless you re
mained on active" duty for at least 3 more
years from the date of such election,'
If you have more than 17 years of ser^
vice as of 1 May 1962, you will receive^
personal invitation to visit the Military
Personnel Office to get detailed inform
ation on this plan. ' We are hot trying tc.
sell you anything. We are just trying tc
make sure that you have the opportunity •
to have this plan explained to you. Only
you can decide If this plan is for you 03
not. For more detailed information, con
tact HOLSTEIN PNCS in the Military Pers
onnel Office at your convenience.
