Concurrent Receipt Bills Introduced
Rep. Sanford Bishop
(Ga.) has
introduced the "Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act" (H.R. 333), which
provides full concurrent receipt of military retired pay and
veterans’ disability compensation – without offset –
for all disabled retirees, including those with less 20 years of
service.
Additionally, Rep. Gus
Bilirakis (Fla.) introduced the “Retired Pay Restoration Act”
(H.R. 303) that would authorize retirees with disability
ratings of less than 50 percent to receive service-connected disability
from VA and their full retirement pay. This measure would apply to
retirees currently eligible for Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay
(CRDP) – a benefit currently available only for those whose
disabilities are rated at 50 percent or more.
Members are urged to use the
FRA Action Center to contact their representative to ask their support
on these two important legislative proposals.
