Michigan HCR0003 urges Congress to allow U.S. reserves and National Guard members to receive both active service pay and VA disability compensation.
Michigan HCR0003 urges Congress to amend federal law to allow U.S. reserves and National Guard members to receive both active service pay and VA disability compensation. Currently, these veterans must choose between their VA disability pay and active service pay, which discourages them from continuing to serve. The resolution highlights that many veterans are willing to serve despite their disabilities but are financially penalized for doing so. Allowing both forms of compensation would support these veterans' financial security and encourage continued service.
