McJay Pilot Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Don’t take the early option. Speaking from experience here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPIG_NAV Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Due to the risk of it possibly going up the following year? I'm a 12R and am just skeptical that the AF may reconsider the present amount offered next year if there is a high take rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 JPIG, if you know a lot of 12Rs that you trust you could all agree to not take the bonus early. Doing so may even cause the AF to raise the bonus for your career field. Knowledge is power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Sellers Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Bonus proration question. I took the 3 year/25k AGR bonus in 2015. At the time my orders ended in Jan 2018, 4 months shy of 3 years. In 2017 my orders were extended 2 more years to 2020. My last payment was prorated to Jan 18, even though I served the 3 year commitment. Currently have a myPers “incident report” in per my local finance to get the full payment and I’m sure they’ll get on a one sentence reply any month now. Anyone else delt with something like this?

Nope, but I’ve seen it be an issue. At our unit, the AGR orders are changed when you sign the bonus to run concurrently so this is not an issue.

It is about the money. It’s also about other stuff. But it is 100% about the money. And that’s ok. Totally agree! The money is the ONLY thing you can count on, everything else is built on hope. I hope the AF gets turned around but unfortunately there is risk it will not get get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of need to release the PDSM and ctually offer a bonus first to see what the 5K bump does. I wonder how long HAF will sit on this. Hopefully we see it offered sometime in June. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memelord Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Just got the eligibility email on the active duty side. So I guess it’s officially released. My tier bumped up $500/yr from the initial PSDM so looks like they made adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neontico Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 So, I’m tracking the initial 25% tax. But, with regard to these lump sum options, does the remaining cash count against you as income during tax season? Concern would be with getting pushed to higher tax brackets.

Guest Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Surprised at how many people don’t understand this. More importantly, Social Security stops after ~130k in income. Based on my rough math, with the lump sum I may be paying an extra 2% in federal taxes on 35k of my income, but saving 6% on 70k of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war007afa Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 So currently stuck without network access betweeen AORs. What’s this talk of renegotiating? Unable to access the PSDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
