Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 10, United States Code, to permit additional retired members of the Armed Forces who have a service- connected disability to receive both disability compensa- tion from the Department of Veterans Affairs for their disability and either retired pay by reason of their years of military service or combat-related special compensa- tion.
AI Summary
This bill, the Retired Pay Restoration Act, would amend Title 10 of the United States Code to allow more retired members of the Armed Forces with service-connected disabilities to receive both their military retirement pay and their disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, the bill would extend the ability to receive both forms of pay to retirees with disability ratings below 50%, which was previously limited to those with higher disability ratings. The bill also removes provisions related to the phasing out of the disability offset, as that process has now concluded. The key change is expanding the pool of eligible retirees who can receive both their retirement pay and disability compensation without offset.
