Summary

The President must make rules to carry out this part of the law, and when possible those rules should be the same for the armed forces, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Public Health Service. Each department decides who can get annuities and other payments or refunds and handles those payments, but non‑military departments must send money out through the Treasury’s payment offices.
