Did DoD adjust their policy to recoup 40 percent of the total amount of SSB received, or 40 percent of a member monthly retirement pay until the total amount has been repaid? If the adjustment is 40 percent of total amount received, what recourse due a member have, who has repaid the SSB at 87%.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473235752015223818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299281541084179943.post-57616244398658172802010-08-13T10:41:47.295-04:002010-08-13T10:41:47.295-04:00@bob - DoD adjusted their policy to limit recoupme...@bob - DoD adjusted their policy to limit recoupment to 40 percent. This undercut the legislation which would have reduced to 25 percent of retired pay. The problem with this is that advocating elimination of repayment at a time that Congress is looking for dollars and the deficit largely looms.

The program has been suspended pending legal review. I would like to know if there is anything being done for those who have already had to repay VSI/SSB benefits?
