House votes on Major Richard Star Act: Congressman Sanford D. Bishop Jr. said he voted for H.R. 2102, known as the Major Richard Star Act, which passed the House 392-18 and now goes to the Senate. The bill would change a rule that currently reduces pay for some veterans wounded in combat.
Bill's purpose and scope: According to the release, the measure would extend full “concurrent receipt” to combat-wounded servicemembers who retire before 20 years of service, allowing them to receive military retirement and disability pay. The release says about 58,000 veterans could be affected.
Bishop's statement and background: Bishop said veterans wounded in service should not lose pay because of it, and he criticized an alternative proposal that he said would have offset costs by cutting future disability compensation. The bill is named for Army Reserve Maj. Richard Star, who advocated for the change before dying in 2021.
