To amend title 10, United States Code, to make certain members of the Ready Reserve who served on active duty after September 11, 2001, eligible for early retirement.
Summary
This bill amends military retirement law to expand early retirement eligibility for Ready Reserve members. It changes the eligibility date for early retirement from January 28, 2008 to September 11, 2001, meaning Ready Reserve members who served on active duty after September 11, 2001 would become eligible for early retirement benefits. This retroactively extends eligibility to Ready Reserve members who served between September 11, 2001 and January 28, 2008.
