A. ALCGPSC 156/18
1.  The Nonpay Compensation Program Board of Directors approved a per capita
distribution of 35 dollars for NAF Year 2019 at its 5 Mar 2019 meeting.  Ref A also
provided several planning factors to assist commands in developing their 2019 NAF
budgets.  Here are updates to those factors:
  a.  A zero percent increase for a cost of living allowance is in effect.
  b. The employer’s cost of health care premiums for eligible NAF employees will
remain flat and similar to last year. 
  c. Other factors for worker’s compensation claims, retirement payments, Tuition
Assistance, liability insurance premium payments, and Payment Card Industry
compliance expenses remain the same as in Ref A.
2.  Your Coast Guard Exchange and MWR programs are integral nonpay programs that
are force multipliers for mission readiness, retention, and resiliency of the Coast Guard

quality merchandise at a savings and a dividend into our MWR programs.  Also, please
