Special Duty Assignment Pay Revised

The U.S. Navy recently announced revisions in special duty assignment pay (SDAP), which take effect July 26. The revisions adjust SDAP levels for active and Reserve component full-time support (FTS) Sailors, but the majority of SDAP pay remains unchanged from 2008. Adjusted pay rates will be reflected in the August 2009 pay cycle. Sailors whose SDAP will be eliminated will receive half of their previous SDAP entitlement for 12 months, or until the Sailor completes the tour, whichever comes first. Commands holding SDAP billets are required to complete an annual recertification by Aug. 31, 2009.For more information on SDAP, visit the Navy Personnel Command website.
