M-Day/Traditional Retirement Services

The North Carolina National Guard Retirement Section provides information on benefits and entitlements in order to prepare Soldiers and their families for retirement. This section also ensures the understanding of the Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan (RC-SBP) Program.

Once you receive your 20 year letter you have 4 options that will impact your retirement pay and benefits. These options are; retired reserve, discharge, remain in the guard, and the stand by reserve.
 
Planning for Retirement Before 20 Years of Service

If you are planning on retirement from the National Guard there is some information you should know before you reach 20 years of service. In order to earn the maximum retired pay at age 60 you should start planning for retirement early to earn the maximum retirement point each year.

TRICARE at age 60 and ID Cards

Once you reach age 60 and apply for retired pay you will await a response from HRC Ft Knox for your approval letter. This letter is what you will take with you, and your spouse if applicable, to any ID Card facility to receive your retired ID card(s). Once there, you will also verify that your DEERS enrollment is correct. This is important because you are now eligible and enrolled into Tricare Standard with the option to upgrade to Tricare Prime based off your home of record. There are no monthly premiums with Tricare standard. You as the retiree will be responsible for any co-pays.


At age 65 you become eligible for Medicare Part B, and your Tricare transitions to Tricare for Life.  The Retirement Office recommends enrolling in Medicare Part B because as soon as you are eligible for Medicare Part B, Tricare becomes secondary.  The advantage of enrolling in Medicare Part B is that Medicare will file to Tricare for you when it has completed its payments.  If you have any other insurance, you as the customer will be responsible for filing to Tricare for the remainder of any charges accrued.
