      PACT Act Update: VA Signs Up 280,000 New Veterans, But Some Are Still Left Out

      The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs has signed up more than 280,000 new veterans and completed roughly 900,000 new toxic exposure claims under the expansion of the PACT Act, a Biden administration move that sped up the implementation of a 2023 law aimed at securing benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits overseas. Veterans who had exposure to some toxic substances during their military service, whether they deployed or not, became eligible for VA health coverage under the legislation as of March 5. Former service members who served as far back as the Vietnam War can have their health care costs covered for a long list of possible illnesses considered service connected, including those from exposures during domestic training or assignment.

      ACTIVE COMPONENT FISCAL YEAR 2024 AVIATION DEPARTMENT HEAD RETENTION BONUS

      CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 021447Z MAY 24 MID120001072049U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 092/24 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/MAY// SUBJ/ACTIVE COMPONENT FISCAL YEAR 2024 AVIATION DEPARTMENT HEAD RETENTION BONUS// REF/A/DOC/SECNAV/6FEB18// REF/B/DOC/OPNAV/1OCT19// NARR/REF A IS SECNAVINST 7220.88, AVIATION INCENTIVE PAYS AND BONUS PROGRAM. REF B IS OPNAVINST 7220.18A, AVIATION INCENTIVE PAY AND BONUS PROGRAM.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Aviation Department Head Retention Bonus (ADHRB). The FY24 Aviation Command Retention Bonus (ACRB) will be addressed via a separate NAVADMIN. 2. A vital part of developing a total force strategy and maintaining combat readiness is to provide appropriate incentives to retain skilled personnel for critical Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) billets. The Active Component (AC) Aviation Bonus (AvB) program, consisting of the ADHRB and ACRB, incentivizes highly talented, hard-working, career-minded Naval aviators and Naval Flight Officers (NFO) to choose to remain on Active Duty. Our return on investment is the retention for continued Navy service of our aviation warfighters, with their invaluable, irreplaceable skillsets and leadership. 3. AC ADHRB: a. Capable and dedicated department heads are vital to mission effectiveness and represent the important link between senior leadership and junior personnel. Retaining the experience and talent associated with those eligible to serve as aviation department heads greatly benefits the continued success of the NAE. b. The AC ADHRB eligibility criterion includes selection for Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) and the FY24 ADHRB is intended for officers selected for promotion to LCDR in the FY24 LCDR statutory board. These officers will be considered for department head in the FY25 Aviation Department Head Screen Board (ADHSB) scheduled to convene in the spring of 2024. Additionally, eligible officers must have an Active Duty Service Obligation (ADSO) associated with undergraduate flight training ending in FY20 or later. Please consult the program information for a full listing of eligibility criteria. The application opportunity commences with the release of this NAVADMIN and closes on 31 August 2024. c. Contracts are offered with either a three, five or seven-year obligation that begins upon expiration of the officers winging ADSO or contract approval, whichever is later. The intent is to provide flexibility when making career decisions and to encourage officers to fulfill a department head tour and continue Naval service. d. The Navy values an early commitment and a seven-year obligation. An officer who submits a five or seven-year contract prior to the ADHSB results being published will receive the maximum annual rate specific to their type/model/series and designator (T/M/S+D). If an officer prefers a three- year contract or wishes to wait until the ADHSB selection results are public, the ADHRB annual amount reduces by up $10,000 per year for the tier at $40,000 per year, and $5,000 per year for the tiers at $35,000 and under, T/M/S dependent. e. While all aviators that complete milestone assignments are equally valued, specific T/M/S+D rates vary according to respective community inventory health. Those communities experiencing the greatest retention challenges are incentivized with the highest rates. AC ADHRB retention bonus pay rates in U.S. dollars for FY24 include: Seven-year obligation, early rate: HM Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) HSC Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) HSM Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) VAQ Pilot $40,000/year ($280,000 total) VAQ NFO $35,000/year ($245,000 total) VAW Pilot $40,000/year ($280,000 total) VAW NFO $15,000/year ($105,000 total) VRM Pilot $40,000/year ($280,000 total) VFA Pilot $40,000/year ($280,000 total) VFA NFO $25,000/year ($175,000 total) VP/VQ(P) Pilot $40,000/year ($280,000 total) VP/VQ(P) NFO $15,000/year ($105,000 total) VQ(T) Pilot $40,000/year ($280,000 total) VQ(T) NFO $25,000/year ($175,000 total) Seven-year obligation, standard rate: HM Pilot $25,000/year ($175,000 total) HSC Pilot $25,000/year ($175,000 total) HSM Pilot $25,000/year ($175,000 total) VAQ Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) VAQ NFO $30,000/year ($210,000 total) VAW Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) VAW NFO $10,000/year ($70,000 total) VRM Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) VFA Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) VFA NFO $20,000/year ($140,000 total) VP/VQ(P) Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) VP/VQ(P) NFO $10,000/year ($70,000 total) VQ(T) Pilot $30,000/year ($210,000 total) VQ(T) NFO $20,000/year ($140,000 total) Five-year obligation, early rate: HM Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) HSC Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) HSM Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) VAQ Pilot $40,000/year ($200,000 total) VAQ NFO $35,000/year ($175,000 total) VAW Pilot $40,000/year ($200,000 total) VAW NFO $15,000/year ($75,000 total) VRM Pilot $40,000/year ($200,000 total) VFA Pilot $40,000/year ($200,000 total) VFA NFO $25,000/year ($125,000 total) VP/VQ(P) Pilot $40,000/year ($200,000 total) VP/VQ(P) NFO $15,000/year ($75,000 total) VQ(T) Pilot $40,000/year ($200,000 total) VQ(T) NFO $25,000/year ($125,000 total) Five-year obligation, standard rate: HM Pilot $25,000/year ($125,000 total) HSC Pilot $25,000/year ($125,000 total) HSM Pilot $25,000/year ($125,000 total) VAQ Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) VAQ NFO $30,000/year ($150,000 total) VAW Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) VAW NFO $10,000/year ($50,000 total) VRM Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) VFA Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) VFA NFO $20,000/year ($100,000 total) VP/VQ(P) Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) VP/VQ(P) NFO $10,000/year ($50,000 total) VQ(T) Pilot $30,000/year ($150,000 total) VQ(T) NFO $20,000/year ($100,000 total) Three-year obligation: HM Pilot $25,000/year ($75,000 total) HSC Pilot $25,000/year ($75,000 total) HSM Pilot $25,000/year ($75,000 total) VAQ Pilot $30,000/year ($90,000 total) VAQ NFO $30,000/year ($90,000 total) VAW Pilot $30,000/year ($90,000 total) VAW NFO $10,000/year ($30,000 total) VRM Pilot $30,000/year ($90,000 total) VFA Pilot $30,000/year ($90,000 total) VFA NFO $20,000/year ($60,000 total) VP/VQ(P) Pilot $30,000/year ($90,000 total) VP/VQ(P) NFO $10,000/year ($30,000 total) VQ(T) Pilot $30,000/year ($90,000 total) VQ(T) NFO $20,000/year ($60,000 total) Location Incentive: Eligible for only Japan, Lemoore, and Guam: HSC $5,000/year (max $35,000 total) HSM $5,000/year (max $35,000 total) VAQ Pilot $10,000/year (max $70,000 total) VAQ NFO $5,000/year (max $35,000 total) VAW Pilot $10,000/year (max $70,000 total) VAW NFO $5,000/year (max $35,000 total) VRM Pilot $10,000/year (max $70,000 total) VFA Pilot $10,000/year (max $70,000 total) VFA NFO $5,000/year (max $35,000 total) 4.
