The Restore Veterans’ Compensation Act of 2026 amends title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the recoupment of separation pay, special separation benefits, and voluntary separation incentive payments from members of the Armed Forces who subsequently receive disability compensation under laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. It also imposes limitations on the authority of the Secretary of Defense to recoup such pay from members who subsequently receive military retired or retainer pay.
