or parole.  The forfeiture takes effect on the date determined under section 5924.57 of the Revised Code and may be deferred as provided by that section.  The pay and allowances forfeited as a result of a sentence imposed by a general

court-martial shall be all pay and allowances due during any period of confinement

or parole.  The pay and allowances forfeited as a result of a sentence imposed by a special

court-martial shall be two-thirds of all pay and allowances due during any period

of confinement or parole. (B) If a member subject to forfeiture of pay or pay and allowances under division (A)

of this section has dependents, the convening authority or other person acting under section 5924.60 of the Revised Code may waive all or part of the forfeiture of pay and allowances for a period not exceeding

six months.  Any pay or allowances paid as a result of a waiver shall be paid, as the convening

authority or other person taking action directs, to the dependents of the accused

member. (C) If the sentence of a member who forfeits pay and allowances under division (A) of

this section is set aside or disapproved or, as finally approved, does not provide

for a punishment that includes confinement for more than six months or confinement

for six months or less and a dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge or dismissal, the

member shall be paid the pay and allowances that the member would have been paid for
