Bergdahl Could Receive $300K in Retroactive Pay
Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
by Sarah Blansett and Terry Howell
Bergdahl could be entitled to about $300,000 in back
and special compensation
following his release as a Taliban prisoner, experts say.
Service members
designated by the Defense Department as &captive, missing or missing in action&
are entitled to receive back pay and allowances, officials said. Any additional
pay and allowances earned such as promotions or special entitlements are not
issued until they are officially recovered or classified as deceased.
However, questions
remain over how much Bergdahl will receive and how much he is able to keep as
he faces potential charges following allegations from his former unit that he
willingly left his post. There are also questions about his designation as a
Prisoner of War and the special compensation attached to it.
service length and known pay rates, Bergdahl's back pay and hostile fire pay
would be about $150,000.
designated as a &Captive or Prisoner of War,& Bergdahl could also receive
special compensation that would total about $148,000. The $148,000 would
(BAH), Basic Allowance for Subsistence
(BAS), and station per diem over the past five years. This figure does not
include interest these payments would have earned over the past five years.
Bergdahl was
initially listed as &Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown& by the Defense Department
on June 30, 2009. However, his status was changed three days later to
&Missing-Captured& following the release of a Taliban video showing Bergdahl
Army officials
have said the service stopped using the POW designation in 2000. However, it is
still used on the Army's official benefits website under the &Captive / POW /
MIA Entitlements& section. This section defines a soldier as a &captive or POW&
as &one who, while engaged in combat under
orders of his or her government, is captured by the armed forces of the enemy.&
Once this designation is determined, the soldier then
qualifies for additional payments such as BAH, BAS and per diem, according to
the Army's benefits site. President Obama and Defense Secretary ChucK Hagel
have repeatedly referred to Bergdahl as a POW in official statements.
contacted the Army to determine if
Bergdahl would qualify for this additional Captive or POW pay, Army spokeswoman
Lt. Col. Alayne Conway only said the Army does not use the term POW anymore,
but did not offer additional clarification on the special compensation.
Over the five
years Bergdahl remained in captivity, he received two automatic promotions,
which raised his basic pay. Although he was slated for a third promotion, Army
officials have since said his status will have to be evaluated following his
Bergdahl is
recovering at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany before he
returns to the U.S.
Bergdahl could forfeit
back pay, allowances, and military compensation and veterans benefits if found
guilty on desertion or Absence Without Leave (AWOL) charges. The Army would not
say if he has received any compensation since his release form the Taliban.
If he is found
guilty of AWOL, he would forfeit all pay he received since he went missing on
June 30, 2009, according to the UCMJ. If he is found guilty of desertion, he would
forfeit all compensation and be held responsible for the cost of returning to
He would also
lose veterans benefits such as access to the , worth over $65,000,
and any disability compensation.
Army Secretary
John McHugh and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey have
said the Army has not concluded whether he deserted his unit and will not do so
until Army officials can speak to Bergdahl about the circumstances of his
&As for the
circumstances of his capture, when he is able to provide them, we'll learn the
facts. Like any American, he is innocent until proven guilty,& Dempsey said in
a statement. &Our Army's leaders will not look away from misconduct if it
occurred. In the meantime, we will continue to care for him and his family.
Finally, I want to thank those who for almost five years worked to find him,
prepared to rescue him, and ultimately put themselves at risk to recover him.&
reports of his release, groups of soldiers have pushed for the prosecution of
Bergdahl highlighting the six soldiers who died allegedly during missions in
Afghanistan to find him.
survey this week that received over 8,000 respondents found 96 percent of
respondents supported the pursuit of a court martial if the prosecution can
support charges that he deserted his unit. About 75 percent said he should not
receive retroactive compensation for the past five years if he is found guilty.
Gary Solis, a
retired Marine judge advocate and military judge, said he would not recommend
trying to convict Bergdahl of desertion. He said it would be too difficult to
prove &he left with no intent to return.&
He said, upon
reading the reported facts of Bergdahl's release, it is more likely the Army
would pursue Absence Without Leave charges under Article 86 of the UCMJ.

Retroactive Pay
Is it legal when your employer promotes you and you are told you have to preform your new duties with your old pay for 90 days without any retroactive pay or back pay?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Retroactive Pay
It smells, doesn't it!
Only y if you don't, then don't take the "promotion." Seems to me, that if they want to train you for the new position, that's fine, but then once they have you doing it, they should pay you. It's really a matter of what you agree to. They can't force you to take a promotion that you don't want, but I suspect they can set the terms of the "promotion."
Without knowing the job and other details, though, there is no way to tell whether it is illegal, or simply unethical.
