$600 buy-up program for REAP participants

Eligible REAP participants may now participate in the “buy-up” program. Eligible reservists may pay up to $600.00 to increase their monthly rate of pay by as much as $150.00 per month. You must be a member of a Ready Reserve component (Selected Reserve, Individual Ready Reserve, or Inactive National Guard) to pay into the “buy-up” program.

For a table listing the amounts by which your GI Bill (Active Duty) monthly payments will be increased if you participated in the buy-up program click HERE.

This increased benefit is effective January 28, 2008, the effective date of the law.
