The Major Richard Star Act allows veterans with combat-related disabilities to receive both veterans' disability compensation and retired pay.

The Major Richard Star Act amends title 10 of the United States Code to ensure that members of the uniformed services who are eligible for both veterans' disability compensation and retired pay can receive both concurrently if they have a combat-related disability. This change eliminates the phase-in period for concurrent receipt and makes technical and conforming amendments to the relevant sections of title 10. The amendments take effect on the first day of the first month after the enactment of the Act.
