'Stop-Loss' veterans are eligible for retroactive pay. Filing deadline: Oct. 21st.
This is currently posted at the WH website:

.... Tens of thousands of veterans whose service in Iraq or Afghanistan was involuntarily extended or retirement was suspended due to ‘stop loss’ are not applying for retroactive pay to which they are entitled, and the deadline is October 21! Under legislation President Obama signed into law last year, servicemen and women whose service was extended due to ‘stop loss’ are eligible for $500 per month in retroactive pay for each month their service was extended.


If you know a veteran to whom this applies, please mention this to them. There's just a little over a month left to file for these benefits.
