House Approves Bill to End Reduction in Combat-Injured Veterans' Pay

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102) with a 392-18 vote. This bipartisan legislation aims to ensure approximately 59,000 medically retired, combat-injured veterans receive both their full military retirement and VA disability compensation, eliminating a long-standing offset. The bill now advances to the Senate for further consideration.
