AI Summary
This bill, the Restore Veterans' Compensation Act of 2023, aims to eliminate the recoupment (repayment) of separation pay, special separation benefits, and voluntary separation incentive payments from members of the Armed Forces who subsequently receive disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. It also imposes limitations on the authority of the Secretary of Defense to recoup such pay from members who later receive military retired or retainer pay. The bill specifies that the amount deducted from a member's retired or retainer pay cannot exceed 25% of their monthly pay, unless the member requests a higher rate, and the deduction cannot begin until 90 days after the member is notified. The Secretary of Defense can also waive the deduction if it would result in financial hardship for the member.
