AI Summary
This bill, titled the Fair Military Leave Act, directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a payment of $200 for each day that a member of the Armed Forces was eligible for the Post-Deployment/Mobilization Respite Absence program but could not participate due to a government error. The Post-Deployment/Mobilization Respite Absence program is a benefit designed to give service members time off after returning from deployment or mobilization. This payment is intended to compensate for lost days of this absence and is made in place of any administrative absence entitlement for those specific days. The bill also clarifies that these payments are in addition to any other pay a service member is entitled to and that the purpose of this act is solely to correct administrative errors, not to create new entitlements for the respite absence program.
