What is the limit for the discharge gratuity under specific conditions?

The limit for the discharge gratuity under specific conditions is fixed at a maximum of $25.00. This amount is established by regulations governing payments to service members upon discharge under certain circumstances, particularly when they may not be entitled to full separation benefits or when discharge occurs under non-standard conditions.

The gratuity serves as a token of support for transitioning service members, yet is limited to this specific amount to manage financial implications within the military budget. This regulation ensures consistency in the benefits provided to personnel who find themselves in these unique situations, helping to standardize financial assistance across the board. The specified limit reflects a practical approach to disbursements while acknowledging the varying circumstances of servicemen and women as they transition from military to civilian life.
