Representative Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) has reintroduced the Retired Pay Restoration Act, also known as H.R. 303. The bill aims to address the issue of concurrent receipt for certain veterans, allowing those with at least 20 years of service to receive both military retired pay and VA disability compensation.
Bilirakis, who serves as an advisor to Speaker Mike Johnson on Veterans Affairs issues, stated, “The brave men and women who return from serving our country should be able to receive the benefits promised to them. Military retirement pay and service-connected disability compensation are two completely different benefits. One does not diminish the merits of the other."
He further emphasized his commitment by saying, "I am committed to rectifying this injustice for all Veterans.”
