Last week the Department of Defense released a statement reminding Service members andVeterans that the deadline forRetroactive Stop Loss Payments
(RSLP) is fast approaching. Thisis not an automatic entitlement, benefit or allowance. Eligible Service members and Veteransmust file a claim by October 21, 2011 to receive this benefit.The 2009 War Supplemental Appropriations Act authorizes Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay of $500 per month for each month or any portion of a month during the period specified that thecurrent or formerSoldier,Marine,Sailor, andAirmanwas retained on active duty as a result of
of Stop Loss. The act applies to service members Stop Lossed during the period starting 11September 2001 and ending 30 September 2009.Last year, Congress and Defense Department Officials pushed back the filing deadline to October21, 2011. Barring Congressional action, this appears to be the final deadline Service membersand Veterans can apply for RSLP payments of $500 per month they were Stop-Lossed.Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,Admiral Mike Mullenstated, “The application process issimple and straightforward. No strings attached. But once the deadline passes, we cannot by lawextend it…It’s your money.”
