Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill, the Honor America's Guard-Reserve Retirees Act of 2015, aims to recognize individuals who have served in the reserve components of the Armed Forces, often referred to as the Guard and Reserves. Specifically, it proposes to amend title 38 of the United States Code to grant "veteran" status to any person who is eligible to receive retired pay for nonregular service (meaning service in the reserves, which is not full-time active duty) or who would be eligible if they were old enough to receive it. It's important to note that this recognition as a veteran does not grant these individuals eligibility for any specific benefits typically associated with veteran status.
