What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Supreme Court issued a ruling on reservists' pay in the Feliciano case on September 23, 2026, establishing a 5-4 split decision regarding the matter. Five current and former employees of the Defense Department, Justice Department, and Department of Veterans Affairs filed a class action lawsuit seeking unpaid compensation. The plaintiffs are reservists who argue the government failed to provide differential pay, which compensates for the gap between military pay and civilian salary when called to active duty.

The ruling sets a legal precedent regarding the government's obligation to cover pay shortfalls for federal civilian employees who serve in the military. This guidance is crucial for understanding government financial liability concerning its personnel.
