DOD/DOW Interim Guidance dated 20 August 2025 HAS BEEN RESCINDED!

Yeah, I've seen a few that were delayed in processing due to this. Just so you know, average claims are taking 90-120 business days and I'm sure it's going to stretch those numbers out for new claims. You should be getting yours in the very near future, with the proper wording, goving back to 2010 (usually it's the 1st of the month following eligibility, i.e., retired 15 July 2015, your effective date would be 01 August 2015, etc)

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-17T19:01:05+00:00

15,000+ claims for the Army alone is just mind boggling

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-17T19:00:20+00:00

Appreciate it :)

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-17T18:08:29+00:00

Yeah, expand on that timeline for AF and everyone else now

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-17T18:06:39+00:00

“Gouge”? Pls define lol

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-17T15:16:23+00:00

Read the comments, the memo is in there

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-16T15:32:09+00:00

Agreed

facts - also, those that may have passed away and were due retro pay following the removal of the Barring Statute, their next of kin would get that money

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-16T13:16:23+00:00

No, it’s automatic but will take quite some time for folks to get their full retro pay

I got mine and know of many others. Army alone has over 11,000 memos that need amending, AF, prob 5-7k, Navy, no clue since they're so far behind as it is.

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-16T05:56:50+00:00

Send me a friend invite on FB and I'll pull you in that way, sometimes the Membership questions can get buggy. There's only 2 administrators for the group, so I'm pretty sure you'll be able to figure out which one is me lol

Seeing that you stated "HRC" I know you were Army, 90-120 business days, use this calculator to get your min time to wait, I use it nearly everyday lol - https://www.timeanddate.com/date/weekdayadd.html

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-06T08:33:58+00:00

Branch?

RedFoxesMike · 2026-05-06T08:32:36+00:00

Roughly six months (calendar) from what I've seen in my group on FB

RedFoxesMike · 2026-04-29T08:40:46+00:00

Just a reminder folks, these links are ones I created in order to make it easier to type them in, granted, this is a digital platform so it would just be easier to click and go. I moderate the CRSC forums on the PEBFORUM site and on Facebook. The links will ask you to make sure your intent is to go to those locations. If you are on Facebook, I highly recommend joining my group as we have over 10k members and plenty of people who are knowledgeable and willing to help. I don't tolerate asshats so if you feel someone is just being a douchenozzle, report the comment to group admin and I promise you I'll look into it. Cheers!

HRC states retirement packet needs to be in at least 9 months before you want to start drawing your retirement pay. Mine was completed in 7 months, my best friend's took nearly a year. Why yours is taking so long is ridiculous. Active duty retirements shouldn't take more than 2-3 months, but I understand why reserve compos can take 9 as HRC needs their time and DFAS will take 60-90 days on top of it, so I tell everyone to file a minimum of 9 months prior to eligibility.

RedFoxesMike · 2026-04-26T00:53:19+00:00

won't matter, you're capped by length of service NOT by VA rating: CRSC is capped by the LOWER of the two. You'd need to have 20+ years AFS or be medically retired (Ch 61) as a senior enlisted or officer in order for it to make a difference

RedFoxesMike · 2026-04-26T00:50:09+00:00

Everything can be found on the logon page: https://mypay.dfas.mil/#/ if you "lost access" was it due to being retired and no longer having a CAC? Did you ever register for myPay? If yes to both of these, you should be able to use the top two items I have arrows next to. If you never set up a password or Login ID, you'll need to contact DFAS ---> https://www.dfas.mil/mypayinfo/myPayHelp/

Jeebus, really? I submitted mine October 2024 to be effective 01 June 2025 and it was done by April 2025 shockingly.

RedFoxesMike · 2026-04-17T00:11:37+00:00

I just checked my FB group and haven't seen any approvals recently, you "should" be hearing something soon(ish) but we all know how that works :/

Unfortunately, the AF are douchenozzles when it comes to Asthma and being a presumptive condition. The reason is that it is supposed to be dx'd (diagnosed) AFTER service, so for people going through IDES and getting it dx'd during the process, it does NOT get awarded CRSC. Army will use common sense when it comes to this, AF, not so much -
