Under this concept, a member would be assured that he personally would not be financially penalized for continued HEARINGS ON DOPMA, RMA SCHEDULED active duty. Pay inversion results from more rapid cost of living adjustments to retirement pay than to active duty military base pay. Retired pay is increased when the cost of living rises three percent for three consecutive months. Active duty military pay is adjusted annually when civilian Federal employes receive a pay raise. Under current law, if a military member retired after Oct. 1, 1975, he could receive less retirement pay than by opting for retirement Sept. 1, 1975. AFLC The House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Compensation has scheduled hearings on the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA) to begin June 9. The Retirement Modernization Act (RMA) also is in the House. RMA is tied to some parts of DOPMA. Officials say if Congress passes the DOPMA bill, they will have to take action on certain parts of the RMA, such as promotion phase points. The bills are both complex and officials expect them to be in Congress for quite awhile. AFNS VOLUNTEER REFUGEE SPONSORS SOUGHT Air Force officials have announced that it is Air Force policy to assist refugees in finding sponsors. Individuals, units and organizations may collectively sponsor refugee families. Officials point out that sponsorship is voluntary and is not a formal, legal commitment. It is, however, a moral commitment to help the refugee family. Sponsors are needed to help provide refugees with food, housing, clothing, money, schools and medical care. Sponsors are also expected to help them find employment and permanent housing. A Joint Refugee Information Clearing Office has been set up in the Pentagon to help persons desiring to become sponsors. Sponsorship information may be obtained from the Joint Refugee Information Clearing Office, The Pentagon, Washington, D.C. 20330. This office has been established to provide information on sponsorship to organizations, units, or individuals, also to provide the necessary contact with the Interagency Task Group Voluntary Agencies (VOLAGs).
