WA HJM4012

Washington State Legislature urges Congress to schedule a floor vote on the Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102), which would amend Title 10 of the United States Code

The memorial seeks to provide full concurrent receipt of military retirement pay and VA disability compensation for combat-injured veterans with less than 20 years of service

Current law from 2004 only allows concurrent receipt for veterans who served 20 or more years, leaving those medically retired due to combat injuries before reaching 20 years at a financial disadvantage

Copies of the memorial will be transmitted to President Trump, the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs, congressional leadership, and Washington's congressional delegation
