Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Combat Veterans Retirement Restoration Act would allow military members who retire due to combat-related disabilities to receive both their military retirement pay and veterans' disability compensation at the same time, without one payment being reduced by the other. Currently, federal law prevents most service members from collecting both benefits simultaneously. Under this bill, all combat-disabled retirees would receive both payments in full, while those with fewer than 20 years of service would receive the lesser of either their actual combined benefits or a calculated amount based on 20 years of service. The legislation authorizes $9.4 billion in spending to cover the cost of these expanded benefits and would take effect on January 1, 2027. This change would primarily benefit disabled veterans who left military service due to combat injuries or illnesses.
