What happens with a DFRDB re-entered recipient with an engagement for less than twelve months?
If you are returning to the Reserve Forces for less than 12 months, you must elect before re-entry whether or not you want to join MilitarySuper. (Former MilitarySuper recipients or preserved benefit re-entrants don’t get to make an election – you automatically join MilitarySuper. You make your election on the D100 form. The D100 form has replaced the old DM100 form. If you choose not to join MilitarySuper, you continue to receive DFRDB retirement pay but you do not re-join the DFRDB Scheme as a contributor. You will also accrue a productivity benefit but you will not have death or invalidity cover. Note: You must make a scheme election before each re-entry to the Reserve Forces for less than 12 months (unless you have joined MilitarySuper, which is final). Failure to make an election before any re-entry will result in automatic and irreversible MilitarySuper membership. If you join MilitarySuper, you must contribute to MilitarySuper and your DFRDB retirement pay will be suspended duri
