7 MAJOR UNRESOLVED ISSUES FY 2013 NDAA FY 2013 Funding Sequestration Doc Fix
8 HOUSE FY13 NDAA H.R (Passed 5/18/12) 1.7 percent military pay raise No TRICARE Fee Increases; hikes in drug copays limited to COLA rate No new BRAC rounds; no similar commission looking at military pay Provides transition benefits for involuntarily separated members (active duty) 180 days of TRS and TRICARE dental coverage for members involuntarily separated from the SR Protects child custody agreements for military parents who are deployed Refinancing help for qualifying service members who can t sell their homes in conjunction with a military-ordered relocation
9 SENATE FY13 NDAA S Awaits full Senate approval 1.7 percent military pay raise 1.7% military pay raise No TRICARE fee increases; significant hikes in drug copays No new BRAC rounds Requires a Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission Codifies Space-A travel eligibility 180 days of TRS and TRICARE dental coverage for members involuntarily separated from the Selected Reserve (SR) Allows a PCS move for SR members who are separated due to force reductions, but who fill critical vacancies in another unit more than 150 miles from their home
10 FY 2013 FUNDING Congress failed to pass annual Budget Resolution Also unable to pass any of the 12 annual funding bills Government continues to operate via a temporary Continuing Resolution Stopgap measure expires end of March 2013 Congress must act before then by passing the annual funding bills or another CR
11 SEQUESTRATION Directed by Budget Control Act of 2011 Another $500 Billion in Defense Cuts Impact effective 1/2/13 unless Congress acts to block or delay Injects chaos and politics into the entire defense system Threatens pay, jobs and benefits
12 DOC FIX 27% cut in payment to doctors who treat Medicare/TRICARE patients Cut is effective 1/2/13 Threatens access for beneficiaries Cost of fix is $245+B over 10 yrs Relief likely to come via another temporary fix
13 LOOKING INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL Congress won t act until Election is over The long term view is Not Pretty Everything is on the table! Prevailing theme in Washington: All must share the pain If lawmakers follow course of history, expect deep defense cuts which will impact pay & benefits AFSA goal is to avoid disproportional sacrifice and ensure enlisted members have what they need to perform mission
