  1. Ok, I am not sure where this topic goes, but needed some info regarding a letter I received in the mail after my VA enrollment was approved. It seems that after my VA Health enrollment was approved, I received a letter from Buckley AFB, CO and it contains an ARPC Form 69 (Annual AF Reserve Screening). It states that I must update my status, dependents, address, date of birth, etc.. and if I update any of those items, I must submit marriage cert and birth certificates. If I don't return it, that is a violation of the law. It also states that as a retired active duty member, I can be recalled to active duty for national emergencies, contingencies and brief periods to assess my continued mobilization availability. This seems very strange, since I thought once you were retired and especially since I was high year tenure, you were done. Has anyone else received this? Any information will be greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure this is not some kind of scam to get my information. Thanks. JD Ret AF
  2. Thanks for the info; however I have one main concern with the website and your info. Everyone I have spoke with, gets their retirement pay and also a separate check for VA compensation. Several close friends that retired the same time as I, all receive their money the same way. With that said, I asked do they pay taxes and all the responses were no (only to their compensation check/they do pay taxes on their military retirement check). After reading the VA website about the 10yr plan to bring retired pay back to normal, your response makes sense. However; the whole tax issue has me concerned. Too many vets that I have spoken with all state their compensation is tax free and have not received a W-2 or 1099 or even filed. Not saying that makes it ok, but that is what confused me so much when I read and speak with people that state the opposite. I was finally able to speak with a close friend today and he has exactly the same VA percentage as I. We both have the same time in service and our retirement dates are only a couple of weeks apart. He stated that he is now receiving his compensation and he is also receiving his military retired pay. I just wished I could see some standardization in the system. I just want to know what questions to ask and who are the correct people I should be asking them to. v/r JD
  3. Hello everyone, I have been searching all morning for a topic related to the question I am going to ask and I am exhuasted. Here goes: I received my decision from VA yesterday and I am more confused now than ever. I have called VA and DFAS, but neither one can give me a definative answer, due to DFAS starting an audit worksheet. I was basically asking if and when I would recieve by backpay, since it has been a year since I officially retired. I was told that until DFAS completes there audit, I am only entitled to my monthly VA compensation payment. I was also told that if I am eligible for backpay, then it may be a prorated amount. What I am confused about is everyone keeps telling me that I will get basically my monthly VA amount for every month since I retired and that it is all non-taxible. With that said, the VA website states that CRDP is taxable and I may not be eligible for CRSC. Can anyone shed some light on this that has recently go throught the process? I just want to have an idea of what to expect. I am not looking for a dollar amount, just some info as to what I should be looking for and if I need to raise any flags. Thanks. JD
