I get these regularly from the DAV and try to post them here. This is also something addressed in that thoroughly obnoxious CBO proposal to cut either VADC or SSRI by the amount of income from VADC.<\/p>\n

On January 8, 2019, Representative Gus Bilirakis (FL) introduced H.R. 303, the Retired Pay Restoration Act.<\/p>\n

This bill would extend concurrent receipt authority to longevity retirees with service-connected disabilities rated less than 50 percent disabling.\u00a0 Under current law disabled veterans with longevity retirement from active military service who are also in receipt of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability determination of 50 percent or higher may retain both military retirement pay and their compensation.<\/p>\n

DAV strongly supports H.R. 303 as it would end the unfair policy of forcing many military longevity retirees to forfeit some of their retired pay in order to receive equal amounts of disability compensation from the VA.\u00a0 This legislation is in accord with DAV Resolution No. 104 and would eliminate concurrent receipt for all longevity retirees.<\/p>\n

Please use the prepared electronic letter or draft your own to urge your Representative to support and cosponsor H.R. 303.\u00a0 As always, we appreciate your support for DAV and your grassroots activism in participating in DAV CAN.\u00a0 Thank you for all you do for America’s veterans and their families.<\/p>\n

Take Action<\/a><\/p>\n
