MUSTERING OUT PAY (MOP)


Veterans who served honorably, or under honorable condition, during the following dates may have been eligible for mustering-out pay:

December 7, 1941 to June 30, 1947
June 27, 1950 to January 31, 1955

Requests for MOP info usually concern veterans who are entitled to the New York State real property tax exemption.  If you receive a request for this information, review records for documentation of MOP.  MOP may appear on the separation document, within the service record, or in auxiliary/organizational records.  Some specific areas are:

NAVSANDA Form 550, Mustering Out Payment

NAVSANDA FB/680 K, Authorization for Mustering Out Payment

Service Record Book (NAVPERS 601[9])

Miscellaneous correspondence

If documentation is not found, you may calculate the payment.  First review 1865.101B, Appendix B, pages 1 and 2, for circumstances under which MOP was NOT awarded. (Paragraph 6 of the memo shows how to compute MOP, if necessary.)
