A resolution urging the members of Congress to support the Major Richard Star Act to allow medically retired service members to receive full access to their much-deserved retirement pay and benefits.

Summary

The resolution calls on the U.S. Congress to support legislation that would eliminate the offset that reduces retirement pay for medically retired service members who also receive disability compensation. It affects veterans who retired before 20 years of service due to medical conditions, allowing them to collect both retirement and disability benefits in full. The measure highlights the case of Major Richard Star, whose experience illustrates the need for the change.
