Rachael Booth Act

This bill modifies military compensation rules for dependents when service members are separated due to dependent abuse. It expands eligibility to include members convicted of abuse (or accused but not convicted after a commander's review finding probable cause), and sets specific payment start dates based on pretrial confinement or commander determinations. The changes clarify how dependents qualify for existing benefits under Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1059, adjusting timing and eligibility criteria without creating new programs. It directly affects military families when a service member faces separation for abuse-related incidents.
