How long must an employee be called to be eligible for a QRD?
The call or period of active duty must be for 180 days or more or may be indefinite. The employee’s eligibility is not affected if the actual period of active duty is less than 180 days or is otherwise changed from the original order. If the period specified in the order or call is less than 180 days, a QRD is not allowed. However, subsequent calls or orders that increase the total period of active duty to 180 days or more will qualify an employee for a QRD. Thus, for example, if an employee is ordered or called to active duty for 120 days, and his or her order or call is subsequently extended for an additional 60 days, that individual qualifies for a QRD. The employee may submit the form and revised order or call to active duty at the time it is extended.
