This bill, titled the Moral Injury Recognition and Restitution Act , aims to provide retroactive benefits for veterans who have approved claims for health conditions stemming from military sexual trauma (MST). It amends title 38, United States Code, to establish that when the Secretary of Veterans Affairs approves such a claim, the effective date of the award will be the day after the veteran's discharge from service . Consequently, monetary benefits based on this award will be payable retroactively from that earlier date, overriding standard effective date rules for other claims. The legislation defines "covered health condition" to include both mental health conditions and any physical injuries or diseases resulting in disability that were incurred or aggravated by MST. This ensures that veterans receive full compensation from the earliest possible date for disabilities linked to military sexual trauma.
