Your retirement check isn't going as far as it used to...
If a person joined the military at 22, retired at 42, collected military retirement pay under the CURRENT rules, at age 62 the value of that retirement would be more than 20% less due COLA being 1% less than the Consumer Price Index increase. This rate continues at less than the Consumer Price Index increase for life so 30% less at 30 years after retirement.
This is current law. With the new Paul Ryan/Patty Murray plan, the same person at age 62 will have a retirement with a value that will be more than 40% less with a promise to start paying 20% of the reduced value. Why “more than”? Compounding. Who believes that military retirees and disabled will get back the % taken from them when they turn 62.
