To amend title 10, United States Code, to provide that military retired pay for nonregular service shall be paid without regard to the age of a person otherwise eligible for such retired pay, rather than commencing when an otherwise eligible person attains age 60.
Summary
This bill would eliminate the requirement that members of the military reserves or National Guard wait until age 60 to begin receiving their retired pay. Under current law, these "non-regular" service members must reach that age to collect benefits, even if they have already completed the required years of service.
If enacted, this change would allow eligible veterans to start receiving their pension immediately upon retirement, regardless of their age. This would align the retirement benefits of reservists more closely with those of full-time, active-duty service members who are eligible for pay immediately after completing their service.
