Army Hunts for Thousands of Vets Entitled to Stop-Loss Pay 

1/19/2010 
The Army is continuing to hunt for possibly as many as 120,000 to 160,000 others who were stop lossed on active duty from Sept. 11, 2001, to Sept. 30, 2008.
 
Maj. Roy Whitley, program manager for the retroactive stop-loss payment effort, said Congress set aside $534 million for the program that sends out checks of $500 for each month the soldier or veteran was in stop-loss status. 
            
They have until Oct. 21 to apply through a special Web site. Payments on claims will be made after Oct. 21 and are made in a lump sum.
 
The Army is asking organizations like AUSA to spread the word to its members and out into the community” to help find these veterans, he said. 
 
The Defense Financing and Accounting Service sent out the first checks to soldiers and honorably discharged veterans who were affected by stop-loss shortly before Christmas.

The Army is continuing to hunt for possibly as many as 120,000 to 160,000 others who were stop lossed on active duty from Sept. 11, 2001, to Sept. 30, 2008.
