Take Care of America’s Veterans Act

Section 101 (Major Richard Star Act): This provision allows certain combat-related disabled retirees with less than 20 years of service to receive both retired pay and veterans' disability compensation concurrently without offsets, directly benefiting injured veterans by increasing their overall monthly financial support.

Section 102 (Love Lives On Act): This section ensures that surviving spouses who remarry do not lose their VA dependency and indemnity compensation, and it protects survivor benefit plan annuities from termination solely due to remarriage, providing greater financial security for surviving families.

Section 103: This provision extends increased dependency and indemnity compensation to surviving spouses of veterans who die from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) regardless of how long the veteran had the disease prior to death, offering much-needed support to grieving families.

Section 305: This section includes adaptive prostheses and terminal devices for sports and other recreational activities in the medical services furnished to eligible veterans, promoting physical rehabilitation and an improved quality of life.

Section 323: This provision mandates that each VA medical center contains a hygienic, accessible lactation space, directly benefiting women veterans, employees, and visitors who need a private area to express breast milk.
