AI Summary
This bill, the Retired Pay Restoration Act, aims to amend Title 10 of the United States Code to allow certain retired members of the uniformed services who have a service-connected disability to receive both disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs and their retired pay from military service or Combat-Related Special Compensation. The bill extends the concurrent receipt authority to retirees with service-connected disabilities rated less than 50 percent, removing the previous limitation.

The amendments made by this bill would take effect on January 1, 2022, and apply to payments for months beginning on or after that date.
