Protection from Forfeiture

International Military Defense Law Firm

If you are accused and convicted of a military crime, you could face "forfeiture of pay." After a court-martial sentence, you could be forced to give up your pay and allowances during any period of parole or confinement. According to 10 USC § 858b - Art. 58b, you could face forfeiture of pay if you receive one of the following sentences:

• More than six months of confinement
• Dishonorable discharge
• Bad-conduct dismissal
