Bill Summary
SOLDIER Act Statute Of Limitations for DOD Inactive Employee Repossessions Act This bill declares that, if the indebtedness of a member of the uniformed services to the United States occurs, through no fault of the member, as a result of the overpayment of pay or allowances or upon the settlement of the member's accounts, the department or agency concerned may not recover the indebtedness from the member, including a retired or former member, using deductions from pay, deductions from retired or separation pay, or any other collection method unless recovery of the indebtedness begins before the end of the 10-year period beginning on the date on which the indebtedness was incurred.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the SOLDIER Act (Statute Of Limitations for DOD Inactive Employee Repossessions Act), establishes a 10-year time limit for the Department of Defense (DOD) to recover money owed to the United States by members of the uniformed services, including those who are retired or former members. This limitation applies specifically to debts that arise through no fault of the service member, such as an overpayment of their pay or allowances, or when their accounts are settled. The DOD can no longer collect these debts through methods like deductions from current pay, retired pay, or separation pay if the recovery process does not begin within 10 years of the debt being incurred.
