What this amendment would do

SA 3446, submitted by Mr. Sheehy, aims to standardize the increase in retired or retainer pay for enlisted members who have been credited with extraordinary heroism.

The amendment proposes the following changes to the bill:

  • Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps Personnel: It amends title 10 of the United States Code to adjust how retired pay increases are handled for these members. Specifically for the Navy and Marine Corps, it states that if the Secretary of the Navy credits a member with extraordinary heroism in the line of duty, their retired pay shall increase by 10 percent.

  • Reserve Component Personnel: It modifies section 12739 of title 10 regarding retirement dates, specifically mentioning persons who retire before January 1, 2021, and those who retire after December 31, 2006, but before December 27, 2021.

  • Computation of Retired Pay: It updates the computation of retired pay for members who joined before September 8, 1980, and those who joined after September 7, 1980.

  • Applicability: These changes would apply to any member who retires on or after the date this Act is enacted.
