Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill, titled the Honor America's Guard-Reserve Retirees Act of 2013, amends title 38 of the United States Code to recognize individuals who have served in the reserve components of the Armed Forces as veterans. Specifically, it honors any person who is eligible for, or would be eligible for but for their age, retired pay for nonregular service (meaning service in the reserves, not full-time active duty) under chapter 1223 of title 10. While this recognition grants them the status of a veteran, the bill explicitly states that this new status does not entitle them to any benefits that are typically associated with veteran status.
