Introduced
Summary
Counts certain prior active-duty service as regular active-duty service. This bill would amend 10 U.S.C. §12731(f)(2) to remove the phrase "as a member of the Ready Reserve" and add language treating certain active-duty periods described in the statute as service on active duty as a regular member. The change broadens which reserve-component active-duty time can be used to calculate a reduced retirement age and applies retroactively to qualifying service after January 28, 2008.

More active-duty credit for reservists
This bill would let more prior active-duty service count when computing a reserve member's reduced retirement-age eligibility. It would remove the phrase "as a member of the Ready Reserve" from the eligibility rule. It would also treat certain active-duty service described in the rule as active duty "as a regular member." The change would apply to qualifying active-duty service performed after January 28, 2008. If enacted, some reserve members could become eligible for retirement pay at an earlier age.
