Well, back in June the DoD was allotted money to pay back vets that were stop-lossed any time after 9/11. Any word beyond that on how to apply for it?
Stop-Loss Special Pay is authorized by Public Law 110-329 for members involuntarily extended beyond their Expiration Term of Service (ETS) or retirement date.
Involuntarily extended members receive $500 per month for each month or portion of a month the member is retained on active duty as a result of stop-loss authority. The entitlement is retroactive to October 2008.
This new entitlement is currently slated for disbursement through September 30, 2009. The Army is currently the only service paying the entitlement.
Stop-Loss Pay is eligible for the Combat Zone Tax Exclusion if the member is in a combat zone tax excluded area in a month that the Stop-Loss Special Pay is earned. DFAS-Indianapolis coordinated with G1 of three components, Active, Reserve and National Guard, in developing a process to pay the new entitlement. Army G1 provides a listing by component to DFAS each month containing the names of Soldiers entitled to receive Stop-Loss Pay. DFAS-Indianapolis then posts the entitlements to the entitled Soldier's pay account.
Nearly 30,000 Army members have received payments for this special pay. Checks were sent to the addresses of record to those soldiers who were entitled on or after October 1, 2008, but have since separated from the service.
Not sure if this is the info you are talking about.
