Summary
The bill changes Title 10 to prevent the Department of Defense from recouping separation pay, special separation benefits, or voluntary separation incentives if a former service member later gets disability compensation from the VA. It also limits the Secretary of Defense’s ability to recover those payments from members who later receive retired or retainer pay. The change would protect service members from having these payments taken away after they transition to civilian life.
