AI Summary

This bill, the Military Sexual Trauma Retirement Equity Act, amends Title 10 of the United States Code to extend eligibility for certain special compensation to certain retired survivors of military sexual trauma. Specifically, it changes references to "combat-related" disabilities or special compensation to "trauma-related" to include those who have experienced military sexual trauma, as defined in the Veterans Affairs code. This extends the availability of special compensation and benefits to retired service members who have suffered from military sexual trauma, rather than limiting it only to those with combat-related disabilities.
