Introduced: Oct 29, 2025
Veterans Affairs
Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
The Retired Pay Restoration Act amends Title 10 of the U.S. Code to eliminate offsets preventing military retirees with service-connected disabilities from concurrently receiving full VA disability compensation and military retired pay, expanding eligibility to include those with disability ratings below 50 percent who were previously excluded from full concurrent benefits.
Key Points
- 1The legislation removes the requirement for military retirees to forfeit one dollar of earned retired pay for each dollar received in VA disability compensation for service-connected disabilities.
- 2It extends concurrent receipt eligibility to all qualified military retirees regardless of disability rating percentage, including those below the current 50 percent threshold.
- 3The bill redefines 'qualified retiree' to include any service member entitled to both retired pay and VA disability compensation, effectively ending phased eligibility restrictions for noncombat-related disabilities.
