Section 395.08 Of Chapter 7. Privileges And Penalties From California Military And Veterans Code >> Division 2. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 7.
395.08
. (a) In addition to the benefits provided pursuant to
Sections 395.01 and 395.02, any officer or employee of the
legislative, executive, or judicial department of the state, who, as
a member of the California National Guard or a United States Military
Reserve organization, is called into active duty as a result of the
Bosnia crisis on or after November 21, 1995, shall have the benefits
provided for in subdivision (b).
(b) Any officer or employee to which subdivision (a) applies,
while on active duty, shall, with respect to active duty served on or
after November 21, 1995, as a result of the Bosnia crisis, receive
from the state, for a period not to exceed 180 calendar days, as part
of his or her compensation, both of the following:
(1) The difference between the amount of his or her military pay
and allowances and the amount the officer or employee would have
received as a state officer or employee, including any merit raises
that would otherwise have been granted during the time the individual
was on active duty.
(2) All benefits that he or she would have received had he or she
not been called to active duty unless the benefits are prohibited or
limited by vendor contracts.
(c) Any individual receiving compensation pursuant to subdivision
(b) who does not return to state service within 60 days of being
released from active duty shall have that compensation treated as a
loan payable with interest at the rate earned on the Pooled Money
Investment Account. This subdivision shall not apply to compensation
received pursuant to Section 395.02.
(d) This section shall not apply to any active duty served
voluntarily after the close of the Bosnia crisis.
(e) Benefits provided under paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) shall
only be provided to an employee who was not eligible to participate
in the federal Ready Reserve Mobilization Income Insurance Program
(10 U.S.C. Sec. 12521 et seq.) or a successor federal program that,
in the determination of the Director of Personnel Administration, is
substantively similar to the federal Ready Reserve Mobilization
Income Insurance Program. For an employee eligible to participate in
the federal Ready Reserve Mobilization Income Insurance Program or a
successor program, and whose monthly salary as a state employee was
higher than the sum of his or her military pay and allowances and the
maximum allowable benefit under the federal Ready Reserve
Mobilization Income Insurance Program or a successor program, the
employee shall receive the amount payable under paragraph (1) of
subdivision (b), but that amount shall be reduced by the maximum
allowable benefit under the federal Ready Reserve Mobilization Income
Insurance Program or a successor program. For individuals who
elected the federal Ready Reserve Mobilization Income Insurance
Program the state shall reimburse for the cost of the insurance
premium for the period of time on active duty, not to exceed 180
calendar days.
