What this amendment would do

SA 4056 is an amendment proposed by Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Crapo, and Ms. Warren to be added to bill H.R. 4016, which deals with Department of Defense appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

The purpose of this amendment is to change the rules regarding how certain retirees receive their payments. Specifically, it aims to:

  • Allow eligible combat-related disabled uniformed services retirees who are retired under chapter 61 of title 10 to receive both their retired pay and veterans' disability compensation for the same month.

The amendment also includes technical changes to the law, such as:

  • Removing certain paragraphs and sentences from Section 1413a(b) and Section 1414 of title 10, United States Code.
  • Updating the heading and table of sections for Section 1414.
  • Setting an effective date for these changes to begin on the first day of the first month after the Act is enacted.
