The Major Richard Star Act lets military retirees with combat-related disabilities collect full retirement pay and veterans disability compensation at the same time. It removes the rule that reduced retired pay by the amount of disability compensation.
Major Richard Star Act This bill allows a veteran with a combat-related disability to receive retirement pay, without reduction, concurrently with their disability compensation. This includes veterans with a combat-related disability and fewer than 20 years of creditable service. (Currently, veterans who receive combat-related special compensation and retirement pay are subject to an offset in retirement pay for concurrent receipt of such benefits.)
