critical (Level I) or critical (Level II). The criticality of ratings, billets, or units are
periodically revised by ALDIST to maintain currency.
2.

in the SELRES to qualify for bonus.

Affiliation Bonus Payment Levels. The limits listed below for Level I bonuses represent the
maximums allowable by law. Bonuses may be paid in lump sums or installments, depending
on how many months are remaining in the members' initial MSO. Only whole months will
count towards bonus eligibility. Authorizing ALDISTs will specify implementation of the
available bonuses and may authorize implementation of lesser dollar amounts or lump sum
bonuses depending on legislative authority, budgetary resources, and program needs.
a.
A member who affiliates with the SELRES into a Level I rating, billet, or unit may be paid
a bonus of up to per month through completion of MSO.
b.
A member who affiliates with the SELRES into a Level II rating, billet, or unit, may be
paid a bonus of up to per month through completion of MSO.
