                   Subpart D--Reduction of Retired Pay
 
Sec. 48.403  Payment of nonwithheld reduction of retired pay.

    (a) A member of a uniformed service who is entitled to retired pay 
and has made an election shall, during any period in which he is not 
receiving retired pay (including periods of active duty), deposit the 
amount which would have been withheld from his retired pay had he been 
receiving that pay.
    (b) Such deposit will be payable to Treasurer of the United States 
and shall be forwarded monthly to the disbursing office which would 
normally pay the member his retired pay.
    (c) The disbursing office will in all cases inform the member of the 
amount to be deposited and when such deposits are to be made.
    (d) In the event deposits are not made within 30 days of the due 
date, the disbursing office will inform the member concerned that he is 
delinquent from such due date and thereafter his designated 
beneficiaries will not be eligible for the annuity provided under the 
Plan until the arrears have been paid. The notification of delinquency 
will advise the member that 15 additional days have been granted to him 
in which to remit his deposit, and that if the arrears are not deposited 
within that period, the member will be charged interest to include the 
first day of delinquency. In no case will the expiration date of the 15 
days exceed a date later than 45 days from the date the deposit was due. 
The interest will be computed monthly and the rate will be that used in 
computing the cost tables in effect on the date of the member's 
retirement. If such member later becomes in receipt of retired pay, any 
arrears with compound interest will be withheld.
