Relating to supplemental pay for members of the Texas military forces suffering an economic hardship as a result of serving on military duty.

SB 635 creates a supplemental pay program for Texas military members (including National Guard) who face economic hardship due to serving on active duty. It allows eligible members to receive payments up to the lesser of the hardship amount or the difference between lost civilian income and military pay received. The bill establishes a dedicated funding account in the general revenue fund, which can be supported by legislative appropriations, gifts, or grants. This program applies to military duty occurring on or after September 1, 2025, with payments subject to available funds.
