Amends Federal armed forces provisions relating to annuity payments under the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) to eliminate the two-tiered system of payment amounts (a certain percentage of the deceased's base salary to those beneficiaries age 62 or over, and a lower amount for those below age 62) in the calculation of annuity payments for eligible beneficiaries of active-duty and reserve members of the armed forces. Implements in its place a level percentage of base salary for beneficiaries of active-duty members (notwithstanding their age), and a level percentage of base salary for beneficiaries of reserve members.
Repeals current Federal provisions which: (1) reduce the annuity amount for beneficiaries upon attaining age 62; and (2) base eligibility for such annuity payments on participation in the SBP on or before a specified date.
