Urge U.S. Congress to pass the "Major Richard Star Act."

Summary

The Senate adopted a resolution calling on the U.S. Congress to enact the Major Richard Star Act, which would let veterans with disabilities receive both their full Department of Defense retirement pay and Veterans Affairs disability compensation without a dollar‑for‑dollar offset. It is aimed at roughly 50,000 Mississippi veterans who currently lose about $1,200 each month because of the offset. The resolution does not create any state program; it simply requests federal action and directs the request to key federal leaders.
