    (a) The Secretary of Defense shall pay into the Fund at the end of

        (1) The product of--

        change in the Department of Defense retiree health care programs 
        for medicare-eligible beneficiaries that is effective after the 
        date of that valuation and on or before the first day of the 
        current fiscal year shall be used in such determination); and
            (B) the total end strength for that month for members of the 
        uniformed services on active duty (other than active duty for 
        training) and full-time National Guard duty (other than full-
        time National Guard duty for training only).

        (2) The product of--
            (A) the level monthly dollar amount determined using all the 
        methods and assumptions approved for the most recent (as of the 
        first day of the current fiscal year) actuarial valuation under

        change in the Department of Defense retiree health care programs 
        for medicare-eligible beneficiaries that is effective after the 
        date of that valuation and on or before the first day of the 
        current fiscal year shall be used in such determination); and
            (B) the total end strength for that month for members of the 
        Ready Reserve of the uniformed services other than members on 
        full-time National Guard duty other than for training) \1\ who 
        are not otherwise described in paragraph (1)(B). Amounts paid 
        into the Fund under this subsection shall be paid from funds 
        available for the Defense Health Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ So in original. There is no opening parenthesis.

    (b)(1) At the beginning of each fiscal year the Secretary of the 
Treasury shall promptly pay into the Fund from the General Fund of the 
Treasury the amount certified to the Secretary by the Secretary of 
Defense under paragraph (3). Such payment shall be the contribution to 
the Fund for that fiscal year required by sections 1115(a) and 1115(c) 
of this title.
    (2) At the beginning of each fiscal year the Secretary of Defense 
shall determine the sum of the following:
        (A) The amount of the payment for that year under the 
    amortization schedule determined by the Board of Actuaries under 
    section 1115(a) of this title for the amortization of the original 
    unfunded liability of the Fund.
        (B) The amount (including any negative amount) for that year 
    under the most recent amortization schedule determined by the 
    Secretary of Defense under section 1115(c)(2) of this title for the 
    amortization of any cumulative unfunded liability (or any gain) to 
    the Fund resulting from changes in benefits.
        (C) The amount (including any negative amount) for that year 
    under the most recent amortization schedule determined by the 
    Secretary of Defense under section 1115(c)(3) of this title for the 
    amortization of any cumulative actuarial gain or loss to the Fund 
    resulting from actuarial assumption changes.
        (D) The amount (including any negative amount) for that year 
    under the most recent amortization schedule determined by the 
    Secretary of Defense under section 111(c)(4) \2\ of this title for 
    the amortization of any cumulative actuarial gain or loss to the 
    Fund resulting from actuarial experience.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\ So in original. Probably should be section ``1115(c)(4)''.

    (3) The Secretary of Defense shall promptly certify the amount 
determined under paragraph (2) each year to the Secretary of the 
Treasury.
