For Guard and Reserve Members

Will My Income Change?

If you are a Reservist or Guard member being called to active duty, here’s how to find out if your income will change. Look at your employee pay stubs for one month and compare the amount with how much you will earn each month while on active duty. If you don’t already know what you will earn on active duty, talk with your commanding officer or pay clerk or visit the Defense Finance and Accounting Service Web site.

Note the difference in the two pay amounts. If you will earn less on active duty than you currently do in your job, what is the difference each month? Write the amount on your Reserve Fund Worksheet.
