will national guard get 1776 check

Yes, some National Guard members are expected to get the $1,776 “1776 check” (often called the Warrior Dividend), but only if they meet specific active‑duty criteria.

What the “1776 check” is

• It is a one‑time $1,776 bonus payment announced by President Donald Trump for qualifying U.S. service members, timed around Christmas 2025–2026.

• It is separate from normal military pay and is processed through the usual military pay systems (e.g., DFAS for most branches).

Do National Guard troops get it?

• Yes, National Guard members can qualify, but only if they were on active‑duty orders (Title 10 or qualifying Title 32) for at least 31 consecutive days as of the stated cutoff date (commonly described as November 30, 2025 or 2026, depending on the source).

• Traditional “one weekend a month, two weeks a year” drilling status without a qualifying continuous active‑duty activation generally does not meet the requirement.

Key eligibility points (National Guard)

• Must be in an active‑duty pay status and entitled to basic pay on the cutoff date (not separated, retired, or purely drilling).

• Orders typically must be 31+ consecutive days (mobilization, deployment, long‑term ADOS/AGR, etc.).

• Rank cap: generally pay grades E‑1 through O‑6; general/flag officers (O‑7 and above) are excluded.

Who usually does not get it

• Veterans and retirees who were not in an eligible active status on the cutoff date.

• Guard members only doing IDT drills, short AT periods, or on inactive status with no 31‑day+ active‑duty orders at the cutoff.

• Officers O‑7 and above, even if otherwise on active duty.

How to check if you will get it

• Review your orders to see if you had 31+ continuous days of active duty that included the cutoff date mentioned in official announcements or service guidance.

• Check your latest LES around that date to confirm you were receiving active‑duty basic pay and were in pay grade E‑1 to O‑6.

• If unsure, ask your unit S‑1, finance office, or equivalent (MPF, admin shop, etc.) whether your duty status and pay grade meet the Warrior Dividend criteria.

TL;DR: National Guard will not all get a blanket “1776 check,” but Guard members who were on qualifying 31‑day‑plus active‑duty orders in pay grades E‑1 through O‑6 on the cutoff date are expected to receive it.
