(a) A member of the Reserve on active duty, on inactive-duty
training, or engaged in authorized travel to or from that duty, is
entitled to the same benefits as a member of the Navy Reserve of
corresponding grade, rating, and length of service. In determining
length of service for the purpose of this section, there shall be
included all service for which credit is given by law to members of
the Regular Coast Guard.
(b) Chapter 13 of this title applies to a member of the Reserve
under the same conditions and limitations as it applies to a member
of the Regular Coast Guard.
(c) A member of the Reserve who suffers sickness, disease,
disability, or death is entitled to the same benefits as prescribed
by law for a member of the Navy Reserve who suffers sickness,
disease, disability, or death under similar conditions.
(d) A member of the Reserve on active duty or when retired for
disability is entitled to the benefits of section 253(a) of title
42. A member of the Reserve when on active duty (other than for

benefits of chapter 55 of title 10.
(e) A member of the Reserve, except an enlisted member retiring
on the basis of years of active service, is entitled to the same
retirement rights, benefits, and privileges as prescribed by law
for a member of the Navy Reserve, and wherever a law confers
authority upon the Secretary of the Navy, similar authority is
given to the Secretary to be exercised with respect to the Coast
Guard when the Coast Guard is not operating as a service in the
Navy. An enlisted member of the Reserve who retires on the basis of
years of active service is entitled to the same retirement rights,
benefits, and privileges as prescribed by law for an enlisted
member of the Regular Coast Guard.
