§12533 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary must end the insurance program. No Ready Reserve member may be enrolled after November 18, 1997. Most enrollments stop that day, but members who on November 18, 1997 are serving on covered service or have orders that qualify keep coverage until their covered service ends. After November 18, 1997, payments may only go to those members or to unpaid benefits for past covered service. The Fund must close within 60 days after the last payment, and any money left goes to the Treasury.
