A Contributory Retirement System

For Military Personnel





Department of Defense






Military retired pay costs are increasing
sharply. In fiscal year 1965 there were
462,000 military retirees receiving $1.4
bil!ion. For fiscal 1976, the military retired
population had more than doubled to 1.1
million members receiving about $6.9 billion.
Proposed legislative reform of the military
retirement system does not include a contrib-
utory feature. GAO reviewed and summarized
the material available on the issue of a con-
tributory military retirement system. This
report identifies the advantages and disad-
vantages, the cost implications, and the issues
to be resolved.
