Member is eligible to receive both SDP and AP payments in any
respective category, they may elect which Special Pay (SDP or AP)
they wish to receive.
b. No one may be in concurrent receipt of two categories of SDP.
(1) If a Member is serving in a billet which is authorized
SDP, and meets the eligibility standards for another SDP, the
Member is authorized the higher of the two pay amounts.
(2) If a member meets criteria for two categories of SDP
with equal pay levels, the Member is authorized SDP for the
category that best matches his/her primary position at the unit.
c. Effect of injury, illness, or disability on continued SDP or
AP eligibility.
(1) In the event that a Member is injured, falls ill, or is
otherwise physically disabled while performing the duty for which
SDP or AP is paid, SDP or AP may be paid for up to 90 days during
period of the treatment for the condition that would otherwise
render the member ineligible for the special pay. The SDP or AP
will be suspended on the 91st day following the disqualifying
injury, illness, or physical disability.
(2) Any injuries, illness, or physical disabilities incurred
under any circumstances that are not directly related to the
performance of duty for which the SDP or AP is paid will result in
suspension of the special pay effective the day the member’s CO
determines the Member is no longer able to perform the duty for
which the special pay is authorized.
10.SDP/AP eligibility terminates the earlier of the following:
a. The day before the member departs PCS;
b. The date the Member is removed from duty by competent
authority (e.g., relief for cause);
c. The date the Member is no longer qualified (e.g., required
qualifications lapse, is no longer in the rotational watch schedule,
TDY, etc.); and
d. The date a member departs a unit with no expectation of return
prior to separation or retirement (e.g., leave or administrative
absence).
11.Responsibilities:
a. Members authorized SDP or AP under this ALCOAST shall:
(1) Read and understand the conditions for eligibility for
their respective special pay in this ALCOAST;
(2) Notify their CO of any condition or circumstance that
might affect their eligibility for continuation of SDP or AP; and
(3) When their eligibility for SDP or AP has been terminated
or suspended on account of transfer or other reasons, review their
statements of semi-monthly income (payslips) to confirm that the
special pay previously authorized is no longer credited to their
pay accounts. If the special pay has not been stopped when it
reasonably should have, members must set aside the suspected
