Under a new law effective March 15, 2009, members of the Reserve or National Guard who are called to active duty under certain provisions of law are entitled to a differential payment.

The supplemental payment is equal to the amount by which their civilian basic pay would have exceeded (if at all) military pay and allowances allocable to the given period.

OPM is developing guidance and regulations in consultation with the Department of Defense. (See CPM 2009-07, April 3, 2009 on OPM website under Memos to Agencies.)
