1. IAW Ref A, approved NAF Year 2024 MWR NAF budgets are due to the
cognizant authority for MWR purposes no later than 30 Nov 2023.
Cognizant authorities other than the Community Services Command (CSC)
will establish appropriate due dates to ensure the timely submissions
of budgets required to CSC.
2. A Per Capita distribution amount of 50 dollars per active‐duty
billet is planned for 2024. The final Per Capita amount will be
determined by the Non‐Pay Compensation Board of Directors in March of
2024.
3. Although the budget submission timelines may differ, the planning
factors below also apply for other Non‐appropriated Fund
Instrumentalities (NAFIs) and include:
a. A 6 percent employer share of base pay for NAF employees
enrolled in the NAF retirement system for NAF Year 2024. This
rate is subject to change in 2024 as updated actuarial
information is received on the retirement account.
b. Based upon locality, a 5.2 percent cost of living increase is
projected.
c. The employer’s share of health care premiums for eligible NAF
employees is estimated to increase by 7 percent over the
employer’s share from last year.
d. Units with MWR NAF employees receiving workers compensation
payments will be expected to pay the first 5,500 dollars for
the employee’s paid claim. Note: This is with the understanding
that the unit is following the recommendations of the CSC HR
staff for their claims. Units that do not follow CSC HR staff
recommendations will absorb 100 percent of their claim costs.
e. Commands with NAF employees that desire to participate in the
NAF Tuition Assistance program must budget for the amount they
want to support this program in 2024.
f. For NAF Year 2024, commands with Category B and C MWR
Activities will be assessed a prorated share of the MWR NAF
liability insurance premium required to manage the risk
associated with providing these activities. Units having these
expenses may use actual expenses incurred in 2023 as 2024
estimates. These expenses need to be attributed to the
applicable activities.

CSC/CG‐1112, scanned copies may be sent to D05‐SMB‐CSCMWR for MWR and
