Sec. 12731b. Special rule for members with physical disabilities 
        not incurred in line of duty
        
    (a) In the case of a member of the Selected Reserve of a reserve 
component who no longer meets the qualifications for membership in the 
Selected Reserve solely because the member is unfit because of physical 
disability, the Secretary concerned may, for purposes of section 12731 
of this title, determine to treat the member as having met the service 
requirements of subsection (a)(2) of that section and provide the member 
with the notification required by subsection (d) of that section if the 
member has completed at least 15, and less than 20, years of service 
computed under section 12732 of this title.
    (b) Notification under subsection (a) may not be made if--
        (1) the disability was the result of the member's intentional 
    misconduct, willful neglect, or willful failure to comply with 
    standards and qualifications for retention established by the 
    Secretary concerned; or
        (2) the disability was incurred during a period of unauthorized 
    absence.
