Bill Summary
Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act - Amends federal military retired pay provisions to: (1) permit veterans with a service-connected disability of less than 50% to concurrently receive both retired pay and disability compensation; (2) eliminate provisions requiring a phase-in between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2013, of concurrent receipt of retired pay and disability compensation; (3) eliminate a phase-in of concurrent receipt of retired pay and disability compensation for disabled veterans determined to be individually unemployable; and (4) require a limited reduction in retired pay for qualified disability retirees with less than 20 years of retirement-creditable service.
AI Summary
This bill, the Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act, aims to improve how disabled veterans receive their benefits by allowing those with service-connected disabilities rated less than 50% to receive both their military retired pay and veterans disability compensation simultaneously, eliminating previous phase-in periods for this concurrent receipt. It also extends this concurrent receipt to disabled veterans who retired under chapter 61 of title 10 of the U.S. Code (which deals with disability retirement) but have less than 20 years of service, though their retired pay may be subject to a limited reduction based on their years of service and pay base. The bill also makes technical changes to clarify eligibility and headings related to these provisions.
