Conyers Encourages Service Members To Submit Claims For Stop Loss Paymentsl
October 21st Deadline Fast Approaching
(DETROIT) – Today, Representative John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) urged service members and veterans to apply for retroactive stop loss benefits they have earned before the October 21st, 2011 deadline.
Service members, veterans and beneficiaries of service members who were involuntarily extended under stop loss between September 11, 2001 and September 30, 2009 are eligible for retroactive stop loss special pay of $500 for every month or partial month served in stop loss status.
“As a veteran, I understand the large sacrifice made by our men and women in uniform,” said Conyers. “Our country is indebted to them for their service. It is critically important that they receive the full benefits they have earned.”
