Additional pay, regarding dependents, variable housing, and special pay, etc are dependent upon the Officer completing forms and submitting the required information.

Basic Pay is considered to be the Officer's actual salary. It is subject to Federal income tax, and in most cases, State income tax. The rate of basic pay received is based on temporary grade and Base Pay Entry Date (BPED).
