This petition requests a modification to the 2009 National Defense Authorization Act.
We request that time served on military active duty after September 11, 2001 be credited toward a reduction in age for Reserve/National Guard retirement pay receipt.
Currently, members of the National Guard and Reserves are able to reduce the age at which they are eligible to receive retirement pay by three months for each cumulative period of 90 days served on active duty in any fiscal year.
Currently, only qualifying active-duty service performed after Jan. 28, 2008, the date on which the fiscal 2009 National Defense Authorization Act was enacted, is creditable.
The law does not provide credit for time served on or before that date. We the people, request that the date be moved to Sep 11, 2001.
