What this amendment would do

SA 4656, submitted by Mr. Blumenthal, is an amendment to bill S. 1383. The purpose of this amendment is to address the eligibility of disability retirees with combat-related disabilities to receive both veterans' disability compensation and retired pay at the same time.

The amendment aims to change the bill by adding a section that:

Allows an eligible combat-related disabled uniformed services retiree who is retired under chapter 61 of title 10, United States Code, to be paid both retired pay and veterans' disability compensation for any month they are entitled to both.
Updates the law to reflect the end of the concurrent receipt phase-in period.
Makes technical and conforming amendments to section headings, the table of sections in chapter 71 of title 10, and internal references within the code.
