What this amendment would do

SA 3234, submitted by Mr. Cassidy, aims to restore money that was wrongly kept for tax purposes from severance payments given to Coast Guard veterans who had combat-related injuries.

It changes the Combat-Injured Veterans Tax Fairness Act of 2016 by adding the following:

  • Authority: It adds the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of Transportation to the responsibilities previously assigned to the Secretary of Defense, depending on when and how the Coast Guard was operating.

  • Deadlines:

  • The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of Transportation must identify and report improperly withheld amounts and fulfill other specific act requirements within one year of the date this Act is enacted.

  • The Secretary of Homeland Security must start ensuring amounts are not improperly withheld on the date the Act is enacted.
