Creates a legal remedy for uniformed service members who were discharged, separated, or had orders changed for failing to comply with the Department of Defense COVID‑19 vaccination requirement. It lets those "covered members" file claims in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and requires the Court to provide specified monetary and non‑monetary relief if it finds the discharge or separation was involuntary or unlawful.
The section defines who is covered, what counts as a covered discharge and the COVID‑19 vaccination mandate, lists the allowable civil actions, clarifies the Court’s jurisdiction, and makes the remedy available to claims pending on or after enactment.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
