I've been reading posts about the expiration dates of re-issued standard RR 1.0 awards and how often they can be re-issued and am a bit confused. Here is my situation and I hope some veterans can set the record straight.

In February of 2011, I paid $50/each to reissue two standard awards that now have an expiration date of February 2012. Can these two standard awards be re-issued again prior to February 2013 and if so, will they be good until February 2014? Basically, do I have a 1 year grace period after the Feb 2012 expiration date to renew them for one more year, and if so, is the expiration date one year from the date of re-issue? I think I read that you can re-issue an award twice. Is this correct?

I also have a standard award that expired in Nov 2011 and a standard award that expires in Feb 2012 unrelated to the one in the previous paragraph. Do the same rules of re-issue apply for these two awards as those in the previous paragraph?


Thanks in advance for your help.
