Next FASE

Retiring from the Navy means hundreds of rules, dozens of deadlines, and a handful of decisions you can never undo. Next FASE turns all of it into one plan built around your dates.

Built by retired Naval officers who mentor sailors through this transition, Next FASE asks a few questions about you and your family, then shows you exactly what to do and when, from 24 months out to your first year after retiring.

WHAT YOU GET
• Your personal timeline, with real dates for every deadline: your retirement request, your DD 2656, SBP, TRICARE enrollment, your VA claim and more
• Clear warnings on the decisions you can’t undo, before it’s too late to choose
• Calculators for your retired pay, your retirement-year taxes, your income after the Navy, and a leave planner that shows what to use, sell or lose
• VA compensation, figured for you, including concurrent receipt, CRSC and SMC
• What if? Try a job offer, a new VA rating or a different retirement date, without changing your plan
• Import your LES to fill in your numbers automatically
• Your state, side by side: taxes on retired pay and benefits for veterans, including what you qualify for at your VA rating
• Reminders and calendar entries, so nothing slips
• Written for Fleet Reserve and retiring members alike, enlisted and officer

SOURCED, NOT GUESSED
Built from official sources (U.S. Code, Navy instructions, DFAS, VA, TRICARE, IRS and state law), with the source one tap away.
