OPINION PUBLISHED IN PART
MORGAN, J.
The question in this appeal is whether the trial court violated federal law by awarding the wife "permanent compensatory spousal maintenance" in the amount of 45% of the husband's veterans disability pension. The answer is yes. Accordingly, we reverse in part and remand for further proceedings.
Jeffrey and Deanna Perkins married on February 11, 1978, and separated on February 19, 1999. Jeffrey joined the Air Force shortly before marriage and retired shortly before separation. He served 22 years, 20 of them while married.
When Jeffrey retired from the Air Force, he was eligible to receive a taxable military service pension in the gross amount of $1,446 per month. He also was eligible to receive a nontaxable veterans disability pension equal to 40% of his service pension, but only if he waived 40% of his service pension.[1] He opted to waive, and his service pension was reduced accordingly. Thereafter, he received a service pension equal to 60% of what it would have been absent disability, and a disability pension equal to 40% of what his service pension would have been absent disability.
In March 1999, Deanna petitioned for dissolution. In October 1999, a bench trial was held, and in February 2000, the court entered findings of fact and a decree of dissolution. The court found as fact:
The main asset of the parties is the husband's military retirement, most of which accumulated during the parties['] marriage. 90% of the military retirement is community property. 10% of the retirement is the husband's separate property. The wife's community interest in the military retirement is 45% of the entire retirement. The husband and wife suffered an automobile accident in 1997 while the husband was in the United States Air Force. The accident was work related. Both the husband and wife suffered substantial injuries from the accident. Due to the accident, the husband has qualified for a 40% VA disability which results in a 40% reduction in the military retirement, a dollar for dollar offset.... Prior to qualifying for the disability, the husband's monthly military retirement was as follows:


*991
  $1,446.00     gross pay
- $   94.23     survivor benefit plan
  $1,351.77     taxable income

After the husband's 40% disability, the military retirement pay is as follows:


  $1,446.00     gross pay
- $   94.23     survivor benefit plan
- $  482.00     disability reduction
  $  869.77     taxable income


The wife should receive 45% of the disability portion (45% times $482 equals $216.90). Husband should pay to wife compensatory spousal maintenance in an amount which represents 45% of husband's total monthly compensation for disability. This is in addition to the 45% of the reduced military retirement that she is awarded. The maintenance payments shall survive petitioner's remarriage. If the husband is not able to deduct this compensatory spousal maintenance payment as income on his Federal Income Tax Return, then husband may reduce his compensatory spousal maintenance payment to the wife by 20% to compensate him for the Federal Income Tax he is required to pay. The wife is losing $216 per month in military retirement due to the change to 40% of the retirement to disability. The wife should receive this difference as compensatory spousal maintenance pursuant to the analysis in the Supreme Court case, In re the Marriage of Jennings, 138 Wash.2d 612[, 980 P.2d 1248] (1999).[2]
The court ruled in its decree that the wife

is hereby entitled to 45% of the ... husband's... military retirement.... If the husband's military retirement [pension]... is ... changed in form to a disability payment, the wife shall be entitled to her 45% share.[3]
The court ordered in its decree that the husband

pay to ... wife ... permanent compensatory spousal maintenance in an amount which represents 45% of [husband's] total monthly compensation for disability and retirement; provided that [wife's] maintenance amount shall be reduced by military retirement actually received by [the wife][.][4]
Jeffrey now appeals. He claims that the trial court violated federal law by dividing and distributing his veterans disability pension. We agree.
We begin with three state-law propositions. (1) When disability benefits replace future compensation (e.g., post-dissolution wages), they are not distributable at a dissolution trial. Future compensation is not distributable because it is not on hand at trial, so when disability benefits replace such compensation, they are treated in the same fashion.[5] (2) When disability benefits replace compensation earned but deferred during marriage (e.g., retirement benefits), they are distributable at a dissolution trial. As we stated in Marriage of Geigle, "If ... a party would be receiving retirement benefits but for a disability, so that disability benefits are effectively supplanting retirement benefits, the disability payments are a divisible asset to the extent they are replacing retirement benefits."[6] (3) Even when disability benefits are not distributable at a dissolution trial, they remain a future economic circumstance that the trial court should consider when distributing the parties' property.[7]
*992 Federal law preempts the second proposition with respect to a veteran's disability pension. Federal law prohibits a state dissolution court from dividing such a pension, and from distributing by any means any part of such pension, according to Hisquierdo v. Hisquierdo,[8]McCarty v. McCarty,[9] the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act (USFSPA),[10] and Mansell v. Mansell.[11]
Hisquierdo was decided in 1979. The question was whether the federal Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 prohibited a state dissolution court from dividing the husband's railroad service pension. The Act provided that the payment of retirement benefits was not to "be anticipated,"[12] and that retirement benefits would be paid to the eligible "individual."[13] The husband asserted that these provisions barred the division of his future pension. The wife asserted that his future pension was divisible as community property under California law; that federal law did not preempt California law; and that the California dissolution court should either (a) "order [the husband] to pay her an appropriate portion of his benefit ... as [he] receives it"[14] or (b) value the pension and "award her a compensating amount of other property[.]"[15] The United States Supreme Court held that the Railroad Retirement Act preempted California's community property scheme, and that federal law prohibited a state dissolution court from giving the wife any part of the husband's railroad pension either (a) by ordering the husband to pay the wife a portion of each monthly payment as he received it or (b) by valuing the pension and granting the wife "an offsetting award" of other assets. In the Court's words, "[a]n offsetting award ... would upset the statutory balance ... just as surely as would a regular deduction from his benefit check."[16]
McCarty was decided in 1981. The question presented was "whether, upon the dissolution of a marriage, federal law precludes a state court from dividing military nondisability retired pay pursuant to state community property laws."[17] The relevant federal statute provided in part that a "member of the Army retired under this chapter is entitled to retired pay[.]"[18] The husband, an Army doctor who had served 18 of the 20 years needed to retire, requested in his California complaint for divorce "that all listed assets, including `[a]ll military retirement benefits,' be confirmed to him as his separate property."[19] The wife asked that his retirement benefits be treated as community property and divided. The California trial court ordered the husband to pay the wife half the benefits accrued during marriage, or about 45% of his total nondisability retirement benefits. The United States Supreme Court reversed. Relying in part on Hisquierdo, it ruled that "Congress ha[d] neither authorized nor required the community property division of military retired pay,"[20] and that a state dissolution court was precluded from dividing or distributing such pay, even "by the simple expedient of an offsetting award."[21]
The USFSPA was enacted in 1982.[22] It defines "disposable retired pay" as "the total *993 monthly retired pay to which a member is entitled less amounts which ... are deducted from the retired pay of such member ... as a result of a waiver of retired pay required by law in order to receive" veteran's disability compensation.[23] It provides, as later amended, that "a court may treat disposable retired pay ... either as property solely of the member or as property of the member and his spouse in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction of such court."[24] Thus it reverses, subject to limitations not pertinent here, McCarty's holding on nondisability retired pay.[25]
Mansell was decided in 1989. The question was "whether state courts, consistent with [USFSPA] ..., may treat as property divisible upon divorce military retirement pay waived by the retiree in order to receive veterans' disability benefits."[26] Noting that Congress had "authorize[d] state courts to treat `disposable retired ... pay' as community property[,]" but that Congress had defined "[d]isposable retired ... pay" so as not to include "amounts waived in order to receive disability benefits[,]"[27] the United States Supreme Court held that the USFSPA grants a state dissolution court "the authority to treat disposable retired pay as community property," but not "the authority to treat total retired pay as community property."[28] Hence, the Court said, the USFSPA "does not grant state courts the power to treat as property divisible upon divorce military retirement pay that has been waived to receive veterans' disability benefits."[29]
Although federal law preempts the second of our state-law propositions, it does not preempt the third. In In re Marriage of Kraft, a 1992 case, the Washington Supreme Court sought to harmonize Mansell's requirement "not to treat military disability retirement pay as divisible" with RCW 26.09.080's requirement "to make an equitable distribution in light of the parties' post-dissolution economic circumstances."[30] It stated:
[W]hen making property distributions or awarding spousal support in a dissolution proceeding, the court may regard military disability retirement pay as future income to the retiree spouse and, so regarded, consider it as an economic circumstance of the parties. In particular, the court may consider the pay as a basis for awarding the nonretiree spouse a proportionately larger share of the community property where equity so requires. The court may not, however, divide or distribute the military disability retirement pay as an asset. It is improper under Mansell for the trial court to reduce military disability pay to present value where the purpose of ascertaining present value is to serve as a basis to award the nonretiree spouse a proportionately greater share of the community property as a direct offset of assets.[31]
And the court reiterated later in its opinion:
[T]he trial court in a marriage dissolution action may consider military disability retirement pay as a source of income in awarding spousal or child support, or generally as an economic circumstance of the parties justifying a disproportionate award of community property to the nonretiree spouse. The trial court may not, however, divide and distribute the disability pay or value it and offset other property against that value. In the present case, the trial court reduced the military disability pay to present value and then offset assets *994 against it by awarding to Mrs. Kraft a proportionately larger share of the community property. This is not a permissible way of considering military disability retirement pay under the Mansell holding.[32]
In short, according to Kraft, a Washington dissolution court may not divide or distribute a veteran's disability pension, but it may consider a spouse's entitlement to an undivided veteran's disability pension as one factor relevant to a just and equitable distribution of property[33] under RCW 26.09.080,[34] and as one factor relevant to an award of maintenance under RCW 26.09.090,[35] provided of course that it follows the usual state-law rules for applying those statutes.[36]
In light of these authorities, the key question here is whether the trial court divided Jeffrey's veteran's disability pension and distributed part of it to Deanna; or, alternatively, whether the trial court merely considered the undivided disability pension as one factor tending to show Jeffrey's post-dissolution ability to pay maintenance. The trial court stated in its findings that "[t]he wife's community interest in the military retirement is 45% of the entire retirement"; that "[t]he wife should receive 45% of the disability portion (45% times $482 equals $216.90)"; and that the husband should pay the wife "45% of husband's total monthly compensation for disability ... in addition to the 45% of the reduced military retirement that she is awarded."[37] The trial court stated in its decree that the wife is "entitled to 45% of the... husband's ... military retirement" even *995 "[i]f the husband's military retirement [pension]... is ... changed in form to a disability payment"; and that the husband shall pay to the wife "45% of [his] total monthly compensation for disability and retirement[,]" less any amounts received by the wife from federal pension authorities.[38] This was precisely the kind of dollar-for-dollar division and distribution that Mansell and Kraft prohibit,[39] and it violated federal law.
Deanna argues that the trial court purified this otherwise improper division and distribution by calling it "maintenance." Mansell flatly prohibits a state dissolution court from dividing, and then distributing any part of, a veteran's disability pension.[40] It makes no difference whether the division and distribution are implemented by awarding part of the future income stream that is the pension itself;[41] by finding present value and making an offsetting award of other assets;[42] or by awarding "maintenance."[43] We hold that Mansell cannot be circumvented simply by chanting "maintenance."
Attempting to bolster her argument, Deanna relies on In re Marriage of Jennings.[44] The couple in that case divorced in 1992. The husband had a veteran's disability pension of $318 per month, obtained by waiving an equivalent amount of his military service pension. The husband also had a military service pension of at least $1,627 per month.[45] Following Mansell, the trial court awarded the husband the entire disability pension. Following the USFSPA, the trial court divided and distributed the service pension half to each spouse, stating that the wife was "entitled to Eight Hundred Thirteen dollars ($813) per month"[46] and that the Army Finance Center should pay that amount directly to her. Being obviously compliant with federal law, these awards were not appealed.
Probably in 1995,[47] the husband accepted a significant increase in his veteran's disability pension and waived a corresponding amount of his military service pension.[48] As a result, the Army Finance Center reduced the wife's monthly payments from $813 to $136 per month.
In October 1995, the wife moved to vacate, modify, or clarify the 1992 decree. In June 1996, after finding "extraordinary circumstances" under CR 60(b)(11),[49] the trial court vacated the decree's declaration that the Army Finance Center should pay the wife $813 per month, providing instead that the Army Finance Center should pay the wife $136 per month and the husband should pay the wife the remainder of the $813 per month originally awarded.[50]
*996 On appeal, the husband contended that the trial court had violated state law by reopening and altering a res judicata decree. The wife responded alternatively: (a) the trial court could clarify without reopening because the decree was ambiguous; or (b) the trial court was authorized to reopen under CR 60(b)(11). As far as the opinion shows, no one contended that the trial court had violated federal law when it entered its 1992 decree, or when it entered its 1996 order revising the 1992 decree.[51]
The Washington Supreme Court affirmed the trial court. It held that the 1992 decree was ambiguous on "whether [the wife] was in fact awarded one-half of [the husband's] gross military retirement benefits or whether she was granted absolutely a judgment against [the husband] for $813.50 per month which the court chose have paid to her direct from ... [the] husband's monthly military retirement benefits."[52] It held "that there were extraordinary circumstances ... which justified remedial action by the trial court to overcome a manifest injustice which was not contemplated by the parties at the time of the 1992 decree."[53] It "conclude[d] the trial court did not abuse its discretion in clarifying the original decree of dissolution under RCW 26.09.170[54] and the trial court could reasonably conclude the drastic change in the status and amount of the monthly military retirement payments to [the husband] constituted an `extraordinary circumstance' under CR 60(b)(11)."[55]
As can be seen, the question discussed in Jennings is different from the question presented here. The question discussed in Jennings was whether state law afforded the wife a remedy when, years after the original decree, the husband waived most of the service pension that the trial court had properly divided and distributed in its original decree. The question presented here is whether the trial court violated federal law when it entered its original decree. The question presented here was not discussed in Jennings because the Jennings trial court had fully complied with federal law at the time it entered its original decree.[56] We conclude that Deanna's reliance on Jennings is misplaced.[57]
Nothing said herein means that on remand the trial court may not award maintenance after considering the existence of an undivided disability pension as one factor (among many) bearing on the husband's ability to pay, and after entering proper findings of fact under RCW 26.09.090.[58] As the Kraft *997 court pointed out, a trial court may award maintenance after considering all relevant factors, of which a military disability pension may be one. All we hold here is that a trial court may not divide a veteran's disability pension and award part of it to the nondisabled spouse, even if the court labels its award as "maintenance."
Because the trial court divided and distributed the veteran's disability pension in violation of federal law, we reverse and vacate the property, debt, and maintenance parts of the dissolution decree. We affirm the balance of the decree. We remand for redistribution of property and debts, and for reconsideration of maintenance. On remand, the trial court may redistribute and reconsider based on the record already made, or it may in its discretion take more evidence. On remand,
the trial court may, if in its view equity so requires, distribute the [parties'] property in the same manner in which it did initially. What is required is that [it] arrive at its decision as to what is just and equitable under all the circumstances after considering the military disability retirement pay in the manner we here explain.[59]
Reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded for further proceedings.
A majority of the panel having determined that only the foregoing portion of this opinion will be printed in the Washington Appellate Reports and that the remainder shall be filed for public record pursuant to RCW 2.06.040, it is so ordered.
We concur: SEINFELD, J., and HUNT, A.C.J.

[45]  The decree contained mathematical inconsistencies. We ignore them, yet still state the facts material to this case, by describing the service pension as "at least" $1,627 per month.
[46]  Jennings, 138 Wash.2d at 614, 980 P.2d 1248.
[47]  This date does not appear in the opinions. We infer it from the fact that the wife moved to vacate, modify, or clarify in October 1995.
[48]  See 10 U.S.C. § 1408(a)(4)(B); 38 U.S.C. §§ 1110, 1131.
[49]  CR 60(b)(11) provides:

The motion shall be made within a reasonable time and for reasons (1), (2) or (3) not more than 1 year after the judgment, order, or proceeding was entered or taken.... A motion under this section (b) does not affect the finality of the judgment or suspend its operation.
[50]  The new order actually gave the wife $746 rather than $813. The difference is immaterial here, so we use $813 in an effort to simplify our description.
[51]  No one contended that the trial court had violated federal law when it entered its 1992 decree, for it obviously had not; it had divided the military service pension as permitted by the USFSPA, and it had awarded the entire disability pension to the husband as required by Mansell. Nor did anyone contend that the trial court had violated federal law when, in 1996, it entered an order restoring to the wife the $813 per month stream of income that had been her separate property since 1992.

[53]  Jennings, 138 Wash.2d at 625, 980 P.2d 1248.
[54]  RCW 26.09.170 provides with reference to a final decree, "The provisions as to property disposition may not be revoked or modified, unless the court finds the existence of conditions that justify the reopening of a judgment under the laws of this state."
[55]  Jennings, 138 Wash.2d at 625-26, 980 P.2d 1248.
[56]  The Jennings trial court awarded the undivided disability pension to the veteran spouse as required by Mansell's reading of the USFSPA. The Jennings trial court divided and distributed the service pension to both spouses as expressly permitted by the USFSPA.
[57]  Incidentally, Jennings is distinguishable from this case even if one considers the federal-law question that could have been presented in Jennings. The federal-law question in Jennings was whether the USFSPA allows a state dissolution court to restore, by an award of maintenance or otherwise, service benefits that were properly divided and distributed in an original decree; that were thereafter the recipient spouse's separate property, see Farver v. Dep't of Ret. Sys., 97 Wash.2d 344, 348, 644 P.2d 1149 (1982); In re Marriage of Moore, 99 Wash.App. 144, 147, 993 P.2d 271 (1999); and that were later stripped from the recipient spouse by a waiver executed without her consent. The federal-law question in this case is whether the USFSPA allows a state dissolution court to divide and distribute disability benefits by awarding maintenance in its original decree. These questions are not the same, and thus Jennings is of no help here.
