Q: What if I am tax exempt? A: If your Federal Tax status is E or Exempt , you will receive the same amount of pay under either program, because neither entitlement would be taxed. You may still receive some retired pay if your retired pay exceeds your VA disability pay.
Or you may not receive any retired pay at all if your VA award exceeds your retired pay. Please keep in mind that if you switch to CRSC any allotments, Former Spouse deductions or garnishments may be suspended if there are not enough funds left to pay out of your retired pay. Also, CRSC is non-taxable, so it is issued separately from your retired pay.
Former Spouse deductions or garnishments will also increase, if your disposable incomes. SBP monthly premiums if applicable will be deducted from your retired pay. In addition, if you want to start or resume any allotments, you will need to make a request through myPay to start these deductions. Regardless of your election, you will continue to receive your monthly disability payment from the VA, which is non-taxable.
Q: What if I have a Former Spouse who receives a portion of my retired pay? This is because the amount of your disposable income may change, depending on the amount of your VA Waiver. CRSC payments are subject to garnishments for alimony and child support. If there is no retired pay or not enough retired pay to deduct allotments from, some allotments, such as those for Delta Dental or Tricare, will require you to begin making payments out of pocket directly to the agencies to maintain your benefits.
For a long time, this was the end of the story for retired veterans who were also disabled. The two benefits serve the same function — restoring all or part of the VA waiver — but each has different eligibility requirements, application processes, and funding sources. And for veterans who are eligible for both benefits, it can be hard to know which concurrent receipt benefit to choose.
There is no application process for CRDP. If you meet the eligibility requirements, DFAS will automatically eliminate the VA waiver, restoring your retired pay. Personnel who retire from the military with a service disability rating may not receive the full amount of the VA waiver.
This is because their retired pay is increased due to their in-service disability rating, but the CRDP amount is limited to the portion of their retired pay based only on years of service. So, for these veterans, DFAS will restore the amount of the VA waiver that is based on years of service, but not the amount based on your in-service disability rating. To be eligible for CRDP, veterans must.
Unfortunately, medical retirees Chapter 61 retirees with less than 20 years of service are not eligible for CRDP. And again, if you meet the above requirements, CRDP will be applied automatically and your VA waiver will be eliminated. CRSC is a version of concurrent receipt for veterans whose disabilities are combat-related. The VA waiver an amount equal to your total VA compensation will continue to be subtracted from your service retired pay.
Thus, veterans receiving CRSC will get three separate checks each month.
