Retired Pay Restoration Act
HR 303, the Retired Pay Restoration Act, expands eligibility for military retirees with service-connected disabilities to receive both full retired pay and veterans' disability compensation without reduction. It specifically extends concurrent receipt authority to retirees with disability ratings below 50% (previously limited to 100% or combat-related ratings). The bill amends Title 10, U.S. Code, to define "qualified retirees" as those entitled to both retired pay (meeting service requirements) and veterans' disability compensation, removing the offset for this group. The changes apply to payments starting January 1, 2021, for affected retirees.
