Reserve Forces: Opportunity to Reduce Pension Costs
Abstract
DOD Directive 1200.15, dated February 16, 1973, requires individual reservists who are qualified for retirement, but are not yet age 60, to earn at least 60 points2 annually to be retained in either the Ready Reserve or in an active status in the Standby Reserve. Reservists who earn less than 60 points per year are supposed to be transferred to an inactive status or to the Retired Reserve and are no longer qualified to earn retirement points. The service secretaries are authorized to waive the requirement one time for an individual in exceptional circumstances.
