On July 23, 2009, the Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 09-009, “Implementation of Special Pay for Health Professions Officers (HPOs)”, was signed by Ms. Gail H. McGinn, Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary of Defense, Personnel and Readiness.

This DTM establishes Department of Defense (DoD) policy, assigns responsibilities, and implements special pay for licensed clinical psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, physician assistants, licensed veterinary officers, and public health officers (Air Force only). The DTM 09-009 is effective immediately and will be incorporated into the DoD Instruction 6000.13 within 180 days.

This is the first action taken to implement the Consolidation of Special Pay (CSP) under Section 335 of Title 37.
