PURPOSE.
This form collects information for Military Department programs for Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay as authorized and appropriated in Section
310 of Public Law 111-32. This program compensates Service members, including members of the Reserve components, as well as former and
retired members under the jurisdiction of the Secretary who, at any time during the period beginning on September 11, 2001, and ending on
September 30, 2009, served on active duty while the Service member's enlistment or period of obligated service was extended, or whose eligibility
for retirement was suspended pursuant to any provision of law authorizing the President to extend any period of obligated service, or suspend
eligibility for retirement, of a Service member in time of war or of national emergency declared by Congress or the President. Only Service members
who were honorably discharged from the Service and were under Stop Loss Authority while on Active Duty are eligible to apply for this special
payment program. Service members who voluntarily reenlisted or extended their service or suspended their retirement and received a bonus for
such reenlistment or extension of service are not eligible to receive the Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay.
GENERAL BACKGROUND STATEMENT.
Under the "Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009", Public Law 111-32, the Military Departments are authorized to collect the information
needed to certify the claimant's eligibility to collect payment while under Stop Loss Authority. The Military Departments need this information to
accurately determine the time, amount, and taxability of the claim submitted for payment. If the claim is denied, the claimant can contact the Service
they served in to submit their appeal. Final determination on granting benefits under this program is the responsibility of the Military Departments.
You may be provided the opportunity personally to explain, refute, or clarify any information before a final decision is made. If you made claim to
Stop Loss payment under any other Public Law over the last two years, then you are not eligible to make a claim for the same time period under this
Public Law.
