A BILL To make transitional compensation available to dependents of members of the Armed Forces convicted of dependent abuse in Federal or State court and dependents of members accused of dependent abuse who have forfeited all pay and allowances for an unrelated offense.
AI Summary
This bill, the Rachael Booth Act, makes modifications to the transitional compensation available to dependents of members of the Armed Forces who are convicted of dependent abuse or accused of dependent abuse and required to forfeit all pay and allowances for an unrelated offense. Specifically, it expands the covered punitive actions to include members who are convicted of a dependent-abuse offense in federal or state court and administratively separated for an offense other than the dependent-abuse offense, as well as members who are accused but not convicted of a dependent-abuse offense, determined by their commander to have committed the offense, and required to forfeit all pay and allowances for an unrelated offense. The bill also clarifies the recipients of the payments and the commencement of those payments in these additional scenarios.
