What is an 'Elimination Period'. An elimination period is the length of time between when an injury or illness begins and receiving benefit payments from an insurer. Also known as the waiting or qualifying period, policyholders must in the interim pay for these services and can be thought of as a deductible.
Deployment with the Army Reserve is often to relieve full-time Army soldiers who have been away from home for an extended period. This deployment can last anywhere from six month to the remaining duration of the Reservist's enlistment time. Often deployments last anywhere from six to 12 months, during which the Reservist is expected to conduct himself as a full-time Army soldier. Where the Army Reserves are deployed and for how long depends upon the needs of the Army at the time of deployment.
