The Ready Reserve Act of 2025 would allow certain members of the military's Ready Reserve who served on active duty after September 11, 2001, to become eligible for early retirement. Currently, only those who served after January 28, 2008, can access this early retirement benefit, and this bill extends eligibility backward to include members whose service began after the September 11 attacks. This change would affect thousands of reserve service members who have been excluded under the current cutoff date. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines but simply amends existing retirement law to expand who qualifies for early retirement benefits. The legislation was introduced in the Senate in May 2025 and referred to the Armed Services Committee.
