## Summary

**Expands early retirement eligibility for Ready Reserve members.** This bill would amend 10 U.S.C. 12731(f)(2)(A) by replacing the date “January 28, 2008” with “September 11, 2001,” so Ready Reserve members who served on active duty after 9/11 could be eligible for early retirement under that provision. The amendment only changes the cutoff date and does not add new programs or funding.

## Provisions PRIA read

- More early retirement for reservists: benefit, medium. If enacted, this would let more Ready Reserve members count service after September 11, 2001 toward early retirement. The bill would replace every reference to "January 28, 2008" with "September 11, 2001" in the cited rule. That change could make additional reservists and their households eligible…
