BY THE U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNT NG OFFICE


Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On

Military Personnel And Compensation, Committee

On Armed Services, House Of Representatives


Implementation Of The Uniformed

Former Spouses' Protection Act




Responding to a Supreme Court decision
that military retired pay could not be divided
as marital community property in divorce
cases, the Congress authorized the services
to pay part of a member's retired pay to a
former spouse in compliance with a state
court order.

The services generally have done a good job
implementing the act, but its complexity has
caused problems. These problems concern
interpretations of the act and court orders,
and procedures for handling applications.
Consequently, retirees and former spouses
have sometimes been treated differently,
depending upon the service involved. Some
inconsistencies have been corrected but
others remain.
