    (a)(1) Subject to paragraph (2), an individual who is receiving or 
has received a reserve member stipend under this subchapter and who

shall be permitted to perform that service upon completion of the active 
duty service (or active duty for training). The Secretary may, by 
regulation, waive the requirement for the performance of the service for 
which the individual is obligated under section 7654 of this title in 
any case in which the Secretary determines that the individual is unable 
to perform the service for reasons beyond the control of the individual 
or in any case in which the waiver would be in the best interest of the 
individual and the United States.
    (b) Any amount owed the United States under subsection (a) of this 
section shall be paid to the United States during the one-year period 
beginning on the date of the breach of the agreement.
