An Overview of Past Proposals for Military Retirement Reform by John Christian Pdf

By one estimate, between fiscal years 1995 and 2005, total compensation costs for current and former military personnel increased by almost 60 percent. The military retirement benefit remains a significant portion of these costs, and every change to accessions, retention, and basic pay today will have a future effect on pension expenditures. This technical report provides an overview of the history of U.S. military retirement studies and associated legislation, with a particular focus on the past 60 years of proposed reforms. It is organized around the following five major issues that have driven attempts at retirement system reform: cost, equity, selective retention, civilian comparability, and force management flexibility. The author finds that cost alone is reason to analyze the current retirement system, and reform proposals of the past have focused carefully on cost. However, he also finds that, as the military's mission evolves over time, it is also important to consider the sometimes subtle incentive effects that the retirement system has on service member behavior. Beyond considerations of cost, reform of the military retirement system necessarily involves ramifications for force structure and operational readiness.

Reforming the Military Retirement System by Anonim Pdf

This report applies the models developed in earlier RAND reports (Asch and Warner 1994A, 1994B) to analyze the effects of converting the military retirement system to a system very similar to the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), which is the system that covers federal civil service employees. The authors analyze several versions of this system, named the Military Federal Employees Retirement System, or MFERS. To compensate for the mandatory contributions, MFERS would be coupled with a pay raise. To the extent that the MFERS system failed to create the retention and separation patterns needed to achieve the services' desired seniority profiles, it would also include a system of retention bonuses and/or separation payments. The authors consider the implications of this proposal in terms of the effects on cost, force size and structure, productivity, and force management flexibility.

A Policy Analysis of Reserve Retirement Reform by Beth J. Asch,James R. Hosek,Michael G. Mattock Pdf

As the burden of defense borne by reserve forces has increased, more attention has been paid to differences between the compensation systems for the reserve and active components. One particular emphasis is on the retirement systems, a key difference being that reserve members who complete 20 years must wait until age 60 to draw benefits whereas active members can draw benefits immediately upon discharge. This monograph compares the reserve and active retirement systems, discusses the importance of structuring compensation to enable flexibility in managing active and reserve manpower, describes how the debate over reserve retirement reform has differed from active component retirement reform debate, and considers obstacles to reform and how they might be overcome. It also provides a quantitative assessment of several past congressional proposals to change the reserve retirement system in terms of their effects on reserve participation and personnel costs, concluding that proposals to reduce the age at which eligible members may begin receiving retirement benefits are not cost-effective means of sustaining or increasing reserve component retention. It also concludes that a menu of member options can be a powerful tool to maintain morale and overcome obstacles to reform. Current members could be given the choice of staying in the current retirement system or joining the new one, and the choice might be offered over a period of time, say five years. New entrants and reentrants with few years of service might be placed under the new system.
