Good evening,
I just have a quick question for anyone who has ever gone through PEB and have been medically separated/retired while under contract with a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). Specifically, for the Navy folks.
Upon discharge, were you required to pay back the reenlistment bonus or what happened with your reenlistment bonus upon separation? I read on a DFAS page that the remainder would be paid out but then looking through other references (DoD FMR, etc.), it it saying that they would require repayment of the bonus. Just trying to see what others have experienced but will also be speaking with admin/personnel at my command.
I found in OPNAVINST 1160.8A, page 15-16, section 18c(2):
c. The remaining SRB balance will be paid as a lump sum as part of the settlement of the member's s final military pay account for:
(1) Members who die while serving under an SRB contract and not due to their own misconduct.
(2) Members who are separated, discharged, or transferred to the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) or Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL) as determined by a Physical Evaluation Board.
So, I'm hoping this is accurate. The instruction is from 2007 but all I could find.
Thank you in advance!
