Transgender members of the Air Force sue over losing retirement pay
The lawsuit demands reinstatement of revoked early retirements and benefits for 17 transgender Air and Space Force members impacted by the 2025 transgender military ban.
- On Nov. 10, Seventeen longtime transgender members of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Washington, D.C., alleging unlawful revocation of approved retirement orders and seeking reinstatement of pensions and retirement status.
- In June 2025 the Air Force issued 17 retirement orders under TERA following Gwen DeFilippi's May memo, but Brian L. Scarlett rescinded them in August after leadership changed.
- The case joins other lawsuits challenging the transgender ban, contending the reversals violated Air Force instruction allowing revocation only for fraud, manifest error, or new evidence, after the Supreme Court allowed the ban in May.
- Plaintiffs say rescinded retirements have left them in purgatory limbo, disrupting housing and employment plans and preventing finalization of relocation or job offers.
