Allows concurrent receipt of veterans’ disability compensation and retired pay for disability retirees with combat-related disabilities.
The Major Richard Star Act amends title 10, United States Code, to allow concurrent receipt of veterans’ disability compensation and retired pay for disability retirees with combat-related disabilities. This change removes the phase-in period and adjusts the eligibility criteria to ensure that retirees with combat-related disabilities can receive both forms of compensation without reduction. The amendments take effect on the first day of the first month following the enactment of the Act.
