Crediting Extra Earnings on Military Pay Records |  |  |

Under certain circumstances, special earnings can be credited to an individual's military pay record for Social Security purposes.
The extra earnings credits:
- Are granted for periods of active duty or active duty for training.
- May help qualify the person for Social Security.
- May increase the amount of the person's Social Security benefit.
- Are applied when an individual files for Social Security benefits.
