What is Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay (RSLSP)?
Service Members, veterans, and beneficiaries of service members whose service was involuntarily extended under Stop Loss Authority between Sept. 11, 2001 and Sept. 30, 2008 are eligible for RSLSP. The 2009 War Supplemental Appropriations Act stipulates those eligible for the special pay will receive $500 for each month or partial month served in stop loss status. To receive this benefit, those who served under stop loss must submit a claim for the special pay.
Who is Eligible for RSLSP?
Service Members, including members of the Reserve Components, former, and retired members who served on Active Duty while their enlistment or period of obligated service was extended, or whose eligibility for retirement was suspended from one of the following:
• Contractual Expiration of Term of Service (ETS), Expiration of Active Service (EAS), or Reserve End of Current Contract (RECC); or
• An approved separation date based on an unqualified resignation request or Release From Active Duty (REFRAD) order; or
• An approved retirement based on length of service.
