What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Major Richard Star Act," seeks to amend title 10 of the United States Code. The primary goal is to allow for the concurrent receipt of veterans' disability compensation and retired pay. This change specifically targets disability retirees who have combat-related disabilities. It adjusts how retired pay is handled in relation to certain reductions under title 38. The adjustments apply to both Combat and Related Service Connection (CRSC) and Chapter 61 disability retirees.
