Mustering-Out Pay Measure Unveiled by May
The bill proposes up to 300 dollars in mustering out pay for service members with six months or more of active duty and ranks not above captain in the army or lieutenant (senior) in the navy. Payments scale down to 100 dollars for four to six months and 200 dollars for four to six months, with initial 100 dollars paid immediately. The measure costs an estimated 3 billion dollars for up to 10 million eligible veterans and aligns with the Roosevelt administration’s postwar support program.
