Hostile Fire/Imminent Danger Pay


A member of a uniformed service may be paid special pay at the rate of $225 for any month in which he/she was entitled to basic pay. The monthly entitlement exists when a member receiving basic pay performs duty for any part of the month subject to HFP/IDP.

A member is entitled to IDP when assigned to a designated IDP area. To see which areas are designated as IDP areas, view figure 10-1 in the DOD Financial Management Regulation . The commander determines HFP based on whether a member is:
Subject to hostile fire or mine explosions In an area near hostile fire or mine explosions which endanger the member
Killed, injured, or wounded by hostile fire, mines, or any hostile action.


Special Situations

Three special situations affect HFP/IDP. These apply to members who are:

Captured or missing
Hospitalized as a result of hostile action
Otherwise entitled to HFP/IDP but are missing from the area for an entire calendar month


Rates Payable

HFP/IDP is payable at the monthly rate of $225.00 regardless of the duration that establishes the entitlement. Active and reserve component members receive the full monthly benefit regardless of the number of days they are on active duty or the number of days for which basic pay is paid.

Dnevnice u šest rata

BEOGRAD - Savezna vlada odlučila je u sredu da se dnevnice svim pripadnicima VJ, angažovanih u vreme ratnog stanja, isplate u šest jednakih mesečnih rata počevši od 1. avgusta.

Kako je objasnio Pavle Bulatović, jugoslovenski ministar odbrane, procenjuje se da će svaki obveznik mesečno primiti 1800 dinara ako je bio angažovan na Kosmetu i Metohiji, odnosno 1200 dinara ukoliko je rat proveo van pokrajine.

Sredstva za ove isplate treba da obezbedi Savezna vlada iz prihoda koji se ostvaruju po osnovu primene Zakona o dopunskom finansiranju odbrane zemlje koji je nedavno usvojen.

Ministar odbrane kazao je da je isplata građana koji su tokom sukoba sa NATO mobilisani imala i da će imati prioritet.
- Pripadnicima rezervnog sastava VJ isplaćena su u punom iznosu nadoknada plate za vreme provedeno u VJ. NJima je isplaćeno oko milijardu dinara i dugovanja po ovom osnovu nema. Isplaćene su nadoknade uključujući plate za jun ove godine - rekao je Bulatović.

On je dodao da profesionalci VJ dele sudbinu ostalih budžetskih korisnika te da i njihove isplate kasne. Zaključno sa sredom oni su primili plate za prvu polovinu maja, dok su vojne penzije isplaćene za april ove godine.

Ratne dnevnice su kod aktivnih pripadnika VJ bile dodatak na redovnu platu tokom trajanja ratnih dejstava, dok su rezervisti primali samo dnevnice.

Koristi se izraz dnevnice, ali i u VJ su se one isplaćivale mesečno, što u primeru i stoji (1800 odnosno 1200 dinara) za period kada su bili angažovani u ratnim dejstvima. Ovo vam može potvrditi bilo koji aktivni ili penzionisani pripadnik JNA,VJ,VSCG ili VS.
