Both are tucked into their chamber&#8217;s annual defense authorization bill, modeled after the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission&#8217;s proposed overhaul of the traditional 20-year, all-or-nothing pension model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both would create a new federal contribution to troops&#8217; Thrift Savings Plan accounts, creating portable 401(k)-style investments. Both would trim some of the immediate payouts retirees get within months of leaving the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House plan would dump lump-sum payouts to midcareer service members and expand government contributions and matches for troops who stay in the ranks past 20 years, provisions designed to make a military career more attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate plan sticks closer to the commission&#8217;s proposal, with a slight delay in when federal contributions will begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the specifics are less important than the two big messages behind the differing plans, according to outside advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, Congress is set on pushing retirement reform this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, that reform plan isn&#8217;t finalized yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The leadership has spoken on this, and they want a new retirement model. Now, we have to make sure it&#8217;s the right one,&#8221; said retired Vice Adm. Norb Ryan, president of the Military Officers Association of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryan&#8217;s group has been a leading critic of the reform effort, largely out of fears that the process is moving too quickly and hasn&#8217;t fully factored in the long-term effects on retention. White House officials also have voiced support for moving more slowly with dramatic changes to the retirement system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Ryan said he&#8217;s unperturbed with the current congressional push, saying that plenty of time remains for a conference committee to iron out the differences over the summer. And he has confidence a reasonable plan that answers lingering retention concerns can be worked out before a final congressional vote this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Whether that means higher percentages for (contributions) or something else, we have to make sure we have that extra oomph,&#8221; Ryan said. &#8220;The important thing is that we keep talking.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, acknowledged earlier this month that the retirement plan would likely see more &#8220;adjustments&#8221; as the two chambers head into a conference to reconcile differences in their respective draft authorization bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Senate will have to finalize its draft first. Senators have indicated the measure could come up for a full chamber vote in June, which would give staffers most of the summer to discuss retirement changes and other differing provisions in the bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"
