Which current RegAF personnel are eligible for the Final Basic Pay retirement plan?

• A. Entered service before 8 September 1980
• B. Entered service after 8 September 1980
• C. Entered service on or after 31 July 1986
• D. Entered service before 8 September 1980

Answer: (D)

Eligibility for the Final Basic Pay retirement plan is determined by when you entered service. Specifically, this plan applies to personnel who began service before 8 September 1980. That cutoff marks who remained under the Final Basic Pay calculation versus those who moved to the newer retirement formulas. So the best answer is the option stating you entered service before 8 September 1980, because only those early entrants qualify for Final Basic Pay. Entering service after that date would place you under the different retirement calculation, and dates like 31 July 1986 fall outside the Final Basic Pay eligibility window.
