What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act," seeks to amend title 10 of the United States Code. It aims to allow retired members of the Armed Forces who have a service-connected disability rated at less than 50 percent to receive both retired pay and veterans' disability compensation at the same time. Additionally, the bill extends eligibility for this concurrent receipt to chapter 61 disability retirees who have less than 20 years of service. The Act also includes various conforming and clerical amendments to reflect these changes.
