If Congress passed the Major Richard Star Act, more than 54,000 combat-injured veterans would finally receive the full benefits they earned through service and sacrifice.

Right now, veterans medically retired due to combat-related injuries are forced to forfeit a portion of their military retirement pay because it’s offset dollar-for-dollar by VA disability compensation. This so-called “wounded veteran tax” unfairly penalizes those who gave the most.

Military retirement pay honors years of service. VA disability compensation addresses the lifelong impact of service-connected injuries. They serve different purposes — and veterans shouldn’t have to choose between them.

The Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102 / S. 1032) corrects this injustice and supports a too-often overlooked group: veterans medically retired before 20 years of service due to combat or combat-related injuries.

This is simple fairness. Congress must act.
