I have an employee who will be retiring on/about 2 January 2025 and wants to know the effect of their retirement date on their payout. Will those who were on the rolls at the end of the AcqDemo rating period (30 Sept) get their one-time bonus pay in January regardless of whether they retired before the actual payout or not?

Per Army AcqDemo rules, everyone in the pay pool on 30 Sept gets their payout. Someone who is retired on the effective day of the payout will receive CRI and CA as a lump sum in their retirement check. He/she should make sure their pay pool administrator knows so that the spreadsheet that we use can be coded correctly. This needs to be done NLT the beginning of December.
