Federal civilian employees in the National Guard and Reserve whose income drops when they are mobilized for active-duty service will receive salary supplements to make up the difference.

The supplemental payments begin with the pay period that began March 15, the Office of Personnel Management said in an April 3 memo.

OPM will count locality pay and special rate supplements when determining employees’ basic federal pay. OPM and Defense still must decide what allowances to include when determining basic military pay.

The requirement for the supplemental pay was ordered in the 2009 appropriations bill passed last month.
