• Inactive Point Accrual Per Anniversary Year Raised From 90 to 130 By NDAA 2008 The maximum total of inactive retirement points per anniversary year under 10 USC 12733 has been raised to 130. Starting anniversary year, one that includes the date of October 30, 2007, is subject to the new maximum point rule. Remember, active duty points are in addition to the new maximum.
• Retirement Age Below Age 60 Under Certain Conditions ( Note - Service performed before 30 January 2008 does not qualify under this new provision of law). The NDAA for FY 2008 provides for the reduction of age below age 60 to receive a Reserve retirement. A reduction of 90 days below age 60 for each aggregate 90 days of active service performed in any fiscal year is authorized. Eligible service includes recall to active duty for a contingency operation or recall to active duty by the service secretary. Specific eligible recall authorities are specified in Title 10 United States Code sections 101(a)(13)(B) and 12301(d). Eligible service must be performed 30 January 2008 or beyond. It should be noted that services and military service organizations, like NRA, are lobbying Congress to make the effective date of service performed retroactive to11 September 2001.
