SPECIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENT PAY
Special duty assignment pay is a monthly incentive of $75 to $450 for enlisted sailors who perform selected duties that are unusually demanding or require a high degree of responsibility.
Any sailor occupying an SDAP billet at the time of the end of the pay will continue to receive the special pay at half the previous rate for one year after the special pay level was terminated.
Eligibility for continued pay is contingent upon occupying the affected billet prior to the effective date, maintaining eligibility for SDAP, and remaining in the billet for which the special pay was either reduced or terminated. PERS-4011D9C (miscellaneous)
