Stop-Loss Compensation Now Available for Service Members
October 22, 2009
“This is the right thing to do for those service members and their families who had their lives disrupted because of the Stop-Loss policy that was in effect for eight years,” Congressman Cohen said. “This $500 per month payment will help these service members who have literally served above and beyond the call of duty.”
The $500 per month Retroactive Stop-Loss Special Pay is available to service members from every branch of the military who had their enlistment extended or retirement suspended due to Stop-Loss between September 11, 2001 and September 30, 2009. Service members may begin submitting their compensation claim this week, and all applications must be submitted to the respective services no later than October 21, 2010. Service members must provide documented proof they were Stop-Lossed with their claim. Family members of deceased service members should contact the appropriate military service for assistance in filing their claim.
To expedite the reimbursement process, the military services have established on-line forms:
Army/ National Guard and Reservists should visit https://www.stoplosspay.army.mil .
Navy personnel should send and email to NXAG_N132C@navy.mil .
Marine Corps personnel should visit https://www.manpower.usmc.mil/stoploss .
Air Force personnel should visit https://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/stoploss .
