What this amendment would do

SA 6293, submitted by Mr. Blumenthal, aims to add two sections to bill S. 4784.

The first section, SEC. 639, focuses on the following:

  • It allows members retired under chapter 61 of title 10 with a combat-related disability to receive both retired pay and veterans' disability compensation for the same month.
  • It defines combat-related disability based on the meaning and procedures found in subsection (e) of section 1413a of title 10.
  • It clarifies that this does not apply to members retired under chapter 61 who are not covered by the specified paragraphs.
  • It includes technical updates to coordination with the combat-related special compensation program and reflects the end of the concurrent receipt phase-in period.

The second section, SEC. 640, focuses on the following:

  • It rescinds $13,000,000,000 from the unobligated balances of amounts made available under title II of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
