Protecting military readiness: COVID-19 vaccination status and benefits

This act aims to protect members of the armed forces from being separated solely based on their COVID-19 vaccination status until the military reaches its full authorized strength. It also ensures that National Guard and reserve members maintain access to pay and benefits while their requests for religious or health accommodations are pending.
Key points
Military members cannot be involuntarily separated just because they are not vaccinated against COVID-19, until the military meets its staffing goals.
National Guard and reserve members keep their pay and benefits while waiting for a decision on their request for a vaccination exemption (religious or health).
