Which condition allows continuous pay for a grounded member?

Which condition allows continuous pay for a grounded member?

• A. Gates are met.
• B. Never allowed.
• C. Only during overseas duty.
• D. Only with special approval.

Answer: (A)

Continuous pay for a grounded member comes into play when all required gating conditions are met. Once every gate is satisfied, the pay system recognizes the eligibility and continues base pay without interruption, even though duties aren’t being performed. These gates are the checkpoints that confirm entitlement and status during grounding, ensuring pay isn’t halted unnecessarily. If any gate isn’t met, pay can be paused until the issue is resolved. The other options don’t fit because being overseas isn’t what triggers continuous pay, and requiring special approval would add an extra hurdle rather than automatic continuation when the gates are satisfied.
