IMPORTANT Stop-loss info (source: www.IAVA.org):
Soldiers, retirees and veterans who think they may be eligible for retroactive stop-loss pay have 12 months to apply for the special $500 per month entitlement authorized by Congress earlier this year. Effective Oct. 21, the Army will compensate soldiers for each month, or portion of a month, they were retained on active duty beyond their contracted separation or voluntary retirement date. Claims may be submitted starting Oct. 21 at a dedicated Web site (see below). As many as 140,000 current and former soldiers may qualify for payment.
