GENERAL INFORMATION
1. AGREEMENTS/ADDENDUMS. In accordance with (IAW) U.S.C. Title 10, U.S.C. Title
37, DoDI 1304.31 and DoDI 1304.34, an applicant/Soldier must enter into an agreement
outlining the terms and conditions for receiving an incentive. The service representative
issuing the written agreement will explain the repayment requirements for failing to
complete the period of obligated service or other conditions of service for which the
incentive is paid. Execute agreements on or before any obligated service period. Valid
agreements will contain all required signatures, dates, bonus control numbers,
constructed and printed from authorized systems. The office generating the document(s)
is responsible for upload of all agreements/addendums into Interactive Personnel
Electronic Records Management System (IPERMS).
2. Funds and Taxes. A contractual agreement for an incentive and received payment is
based upon the availability of funds; therefore, all incentive programs are subject to
suspension or termination without notice. All incentives are subject to state and federal
tax codes (except the MGIB-SR Kicker which is a non-taxable incentive paid by the
Veterans Administration (VA).
3. Continued receipt of Incentives. Continued receipt of incentives is IAW DoDI
1304.31, DoDI 1304.34, AR 601-210, and this SRIP. Listed below are any immediate
updates or continued receipt rules not previously stated. USARC G-1 Incentives Team is
the authority to resolve or adjudicate any policy discrepancies or disputes.
a. Officers changing Area of Concentration (AOC) due to normal career progression
can retain their incentive provided they remain within the same Career Management
Field (CMF) for the entire length of the service obligation. Transfer orders must be
uploaded into iPERMS.
b. Soldiers changing their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) due to normal
career progression (per DA PAM 611-21) remain eligible to retain the incentive(s) for
which contracted provided they remain within the same CMF for the entire length of the
service obligation. Substantiated involuntary moves are authorized exceptions; upload
transfer orders into iPERMS. Soldiers who voluntarily transfer to another MOS are not
considered eligible for continued receipt of the incentive(s). This change supplements
the requirements set forth within AR 601-210, paragraph 10-5 on continued receipt of
incentives due to normal career progression.
c. For SLRP incentives, enlisted Soldiers who enter a commissioning program and/or
accept an appointment or commission as an officer or warrant officer in the Selected
Reserve (any AOC/MOS) may continue to receive SLRP payments as stipulated in their
original contract so long as they remain otherwise qualified. A new SLRP addendum
must be completed with a new AOC/MOS.
d. All Soldiers involuntarily transferred will be eligible for continued receipt of
incentives regardless of the position or unit they are transferred to. Enlisted Soldiers

transferring to IMA positions will continue to receive their (MOS/Unit Identification Code
(UIC) associated) incentive at the time of transfer and upon return to the unit. This
includes Soldiers whose SRB obligation has not started yet. Soldiers who contract for
Option C-2, C-4, or C-5 SRBs or CBs must be fully Duty Military Occupational Skill
Qualified (DMOSQ) for the bonus prior to transferring to an IMA position or units will
submit a request to finance to terminate incentives. Soldiers must continue to serve in

e. IAW Extended ETP Retention of Incentives for USAR and ARNG Soldiers
Accepting AGR Positions memorandum, Soldiers who receive an incentive, and are later
accepted into the AGR program, will retain their incentives provided they are assigned to
an AGR position with the same MOS or AOC. This exception applies to Enlisted and
Officer bonuses and SLRP.
f. Soldiers who elect to voluntarily transfer units/positions must transfer to the same
contracted MOS/AOC. Exceptions to this policy will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis
and can be requested via Electronic Personnel Actions Tracking System (ePAT) action
T-36-A-3.
g. Officers who accept command positions outside of their CMF will be eligible for
continued receipt of incentives. They must return to their contracted AOC (01A positions
are acceptable) once their command tenure has ended. Failure to return to their
contracted AOC will result in termination and recoupment effective the date of
assignment to the command position.
4. Suspension of Incentives.
a. Suspension requirements for incentives are IAW DoDI 1304.31, DoDI 1304.34 and
AR 601-210. USARC G-1 Incentives Team is the authority to resolve or adjudicate any
discrepancies or disputes.

d. If the Soldier is flagged for Height and Weight (HTWT) failure, the incentive is
suspended. Units will terminate the incentive if the Soldier remains flagged for HTWT
failure for more than 12 consecutive months, with recoupment effective the date of the
HTWT flag unless the Soldier is making satisfactory progress in the Army Body
Composition Program (ABCP). If the Soldier fails HTWT, passes HTWT, and fails HTWT

contracted AOC/MOS to receive the OAFB/WOAFB. Failure to complete training will
result in termination of the incentive.

for the MOS/AOC in which they enlisted will have their incentives terminated effective the
contract start date. If they fail the OPAT, they may renegotiate their contract for a
different MOS/AOC incentive.
9. Disposition of Incentives for a Deceased Member. Upon the death of a Soldier, all

other applicable policies. CHLRP is terminated if the Soldier accepts an AGR or
permanent MILTECH position (including temporary position of six months or more)
where membership in the SELRES is a condition of employment and CHLRP is subject
to recoupment of any unearned portion.
b. Eligibility.

(3) CHLRP cannot be offered in conjunction with a cash bonus.
c. Terms of Service. Soldiers incur a 3-year term of service obligation based on the

incentive AOC, whichever is later. Failure to remain in a bonus qualified AOC/UIC
throughout the entire bonus period may result in termination and recoupment of

The eligible population can change based on the needs of the USAR without notice.
Soldiers will request the Retention Bonus through the RCMS Self Service Portal. USARC

39
less than 22 years of qualifying service in accordance with DOD1304.34 and DODI

Commander, Soldiers must go up to the next higher Commander. Soldiers may not sign
their own memorandums as the Commander. USARC G-1 uses the Unit Manning Report
(UMR) to determine the Commander of the unit. If the UMR does not have a slotted
Commander, an assumption of command memo will be accepted as proof of command.
(c) Deployed Soldiers should wait to submit until they receive their initial Hazard
Duty Payment in order to be considered for CZTE. Otherwise, an inquiry must be
submitted to USARC Incentives Branch to have their application corrected.
d. Term of Service. Three-year commitment beginning on the date that the written
agreement is approved. Failure to remain in a bonus AOC/MOS throughout the entire
bonus period may result in termination and recoupment of unearned bonus portion IAW

Military Service Obligation Examples
Initial Statutory
Military Service
Obligation:
The statutory MSO is incurred on initial entry (DIEMS) into the Armed Forces whether
by induction, enlistment or appointment
Contractual
Military Service
Obligation:
A contractual obligation is acquired when an individual voluntarily enters into an
agreement to serve in a military status for a specific period of time. A contractual
obligation may run concurrently with the statutory obligation incurred on initial entry; it
may extend past the length of the initial statutory obligation; it may be added to the
initial statutory obligation; or it may exist where no statutory obligation
Active Duty
Service
Obligation:
Normally runs concurrently with the initial or contractual MSO and stipulates the
minimum time an officer must serve on Active Duty before submitting a voluntary
REFRAD request. It does not satisfy the remaining statutory/contractual service
obligation incurred.
For example, SPC Smith enlisted into the USAR on 29 Sept 2021 (DIEMS), establishing an initial
statutory MSO of 28 Sept 2029. SPC Smith commissions through a ROTC program and has an
appointment date of 5 June 2022. 2LT Smith has now established a contractual MSO of 4 June 2030.
For example, SPC Smith enlists into the AC on 29 Sept 2021, establishing an initial statutory MSO of 28
Sept 2029. SPC Smith commissions through OCS with an appointment date of 1 Oct 2025. 2LT Smith
has now established an ADSO of 30 Sept 2028, and maintains the initial statutory MSO of 28 Sept 2029.
For example, SPC Smith enlists into the USAR on 10 Jan 2020. SPC Smith commissions through direct
appointment and has an appointment date of 25 Jan 2022. 2LT Smith’s contractual MSO is 24 Jan
2028, which is 15 days past the initial statutory MSO of 9 Jan 2028.
Additional information can be found in AR 135-91 Table 2-1
· Direct Appointment incur an eight-year MSO from date of appointment. (non-prior service)
· Direct Appointment incur a six-year contractual obligation that will run concurrently with the eight
year initial MSO if under two years of enlistment contract was served. The six-year obligation will extend

The MSO reduction is only applicable to the initial statutory MSO it does not reduce the
subsequent contractual MSO’s incurred after initial entry into the Armed Forces.
· ROTC (Non-Scholarship/Scholarship) Cadets incur an eight-year MSO from date of appointment.
· AC Officer Candidate School incur an eight-year MSO from date of enlistment if enlistment is for
OCS (verified DA Form 1966). (non-prior service)
· AC OCS officers who commission during their initial MSO only incur a three-year ADSO.
· RC Officer Candidate School incur an eight-year MSO from date of enlistment if enlistment is for
OCS (verified DA Form 1966). (non-prior service)
· RC Officer Candidate School incur a six-year contractual obligation that will run concurrently with
the eight year initial MSO if under two years of enlistment contract was served. The six-year obligation
will extend past the initial MSO if over two years of the enlistment contract was served. (prior service)

RBs – Contact the unit’s Army Reserve Career Counselor (ARCC) to verify that the
reenlistment was processed through the Retention Management System (RMS). If the ARCC
cannot determine the reason for non-payment, they will forward the inquiry to the Area
Leader. If the Area Leader cannot verify the reason for non-payment, they will forward the
inquiry to the Amy Reserve Career Division. The ARCD will either correct the problem so that
the RB can be paid automatically or notify the unit why the RB is not eligible.
