Texas Guard Seeks Former Members For Back Pay
The Texas National Guard seeks former Guardsmen owed retroactive back pay from October 1972 to January 1, 1973. A 1974 court ruling and the Second Supplemental Appropriations Act authorized retroactive payments to active, reserve, and National Guard members, including those who have since separated or died. The guard continues to locate and payout to eligible individuals who have not claimed their funds.
