(Case Study: O5 retiring at 20 years with the Survivor Benefit Plan)." She reveals the responsibility of a surviving spouse before they can receive the SBP, what happens if the spouse predeceases the retiree, what the annual benefit of the SBP should really be compared to (hint: it's not the cumulative cost of the SBP), what is the Lifetime Value of the SBP and the probability a surviving spouse will receive it, and a sneak peak into upcoming episodes.

006: What's your Monthly Barrel of Wine worth? (Case Study: O5 retiring at 20 years) Jen Amos turns our winery analogy into real dollars by doing an in-depth walkthrough of calculating the Estimated Retired Pay for Lt. Colonel Rick Howard - an O5 retiring at 20 years with the High-3 Calculator. If you haven't written down your numbers yet, this is the perfect opportunity to calculate the following: Annual Retired Pay Monthly Retired Pay (i.e. your Monthly Barrel of Wine) Total Retirement Benefit (i.e. what your winery 'could' look like) Present Value (i.e. what your winery looks like 'today' and the lump sum amount civilians require in order to receive your Monthly Barrel of Wine) In the next episode, we will play out what happens to an O5 retiring at 20 years should they keep or opt out of the Survivor Benefit Plan. Additional Notes Lt. Colonel Rick Howard is a fictional name to protect the client's privacy "Today's Dollars" display what the projected benefits would be worth in today's dollars. "Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA)" - The High-3 Calculator uses future Military Retirement System COLA rates as projected by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the immediate five calendar years. COLAs beyond the most immediate five years will use the DoD Board of Actuaries annual inflation assumption of 2.75 % per year. "Future Dollars" reflect the estimated amounts you can expect to receive or spend when you retire. These amounts include projected pay increases.

004: If you had to choose between 100 cups of wine vs. 55 cups of wine, which one would you pick? How important is it for you and your family to protect the military pension? Jen Amos recaps how the military pension is more than a retired monthly pay by reiterating the wine analogy. Remember to refer to the last episode to learn how to calculate your Estimated Retired Pay, Total Retirement Benefit, and Present Value. Jen continues to explain what these numbers mean and how they relate to understanding the Survivor Benefit Plan. Additional Notes: "Eligible Dependents" and "Beneficiaries" are synonymous, in the context of this recording. To learn more about who is eligible to receive the SBP, visit https://militarypay.defense.gov/Benefits/Survivor-Benefit-Program/Costs-and-Benefits/ The "Premium" (i.e. the 6.5 cups of wine taken from your 100 cups of monthly wine from your Monthly Barrel or Wine -- a.k.a. Monthly Retired Pay) is the automatic fee a retiree invests into the Survivor Benefit Plan. Right now, SBP "premiums" for spouse coverage are 6.5% of your chosen base amount.

003: Here's what to say the next time someone says, "Thank you for your service." Jen Amos takes a detour from the Survivor Benefit Plan to talk about the most important thing it protects: your military pension. She explains the basics of the military pension, how to calculate your Estimated Retired Pay, and introduces financial terms: the "present value" and an "annuity." Lastly, she shares a clever way to respond the next time someone says, "Thank you for your service."
