Why This Matters

This bill protects veterans by ensuring they do not have to pay back separation benefits if they receive disability compensation. It helps support those who have served in the military as they adjust to civilian life.

If you are a veteran receiving separation pay, you won't have to pay it back if you get disability benefits.
