Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2102) to amend title 10, United States Code, to provide for concurrent receipt of veterans' disability compensation and retired pay for disability retirees with combat-related disabilities, and for other purposes.
Summary
This resolution facilitates the House's consideration and passage of H.R. 2102, known as the "Major Richard Star Act." It sets procedural rules for debate and amendments, ensuring a swift path to a vote on the bill. The primary goal of the underlying Act is to amend title 10, United States Code, concerning military benefits.
The "Major Richard Star Act" significantly expands eligibility for concurrent receipt of veterans' disability compensation and retired pay. It specifically targets disability retirees under Chapter 61 who have fewer than 20 years of creditable service but are eligible for Combat-Related Special Compensation. This change means these veterans will no longer see their retired pay reduced by the amount of their disability compensation, addressing a long-standing issue for many combat-disabled retirees. The Act also includes technical and conforming amendments to existing law, with an effective date set for the first month after enactment.
