The Air Force is set to cut bonus pay for thousands of airmen in the service’s most demanding jobs by nearly $10 million in fiscal 2024, according to the service’s latest budget request.
If Congress approves the request in the service’s budget proposal, released March 13, the service would downsize its special duty assignment pay program from $101.7 million in 2023 to $92.2 million in the coming year.
Around 30,800 airmen currently earn special duty pay. That may rise to 33,500 or more by the end of September if lawmakers OK emergency funding for fiscal 2023, then fall to about 29,800 in fiscal 2024, after the defense policy bill is approved by Congress.
