Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill proposes to exempt certain military retirees from a provision of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 that reduced the annual cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for retired pay for those under age 62. Specifically, it would ensure that members retired due to disability and the portion of retired pay used to calculate Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) annuities for their survivors are not subject to this reduction. The Survivor Benefit Plan is a program that provides financial support to the families of deceased service members. This change would effectively restore the full COLAs for these specific groups of retirees and their beneficiaries, preventing a double reduction in benefits.
