CRDP/CRSC Open Season
The 2021 Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP)/ Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) Open Season is January 1-31, 2021. Retirees who are eligible for both CRDP and CRSC will receive an Open Season Letter in late December with the amount of their entitlements.
Follow the instructions on the letter. Only return the letter to DFAS to change your current election for 2021. Your election change must be postmarked by January 31, 2021.
