Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 119 HR 303, also known as the Retired Pay Restoration Act, aims to amend title 10 of the United States Code to allow more retired members of the Armed Forces with a service-connected disability to receive both disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs and either retired pay based on their years of military service or combat-related special compensation.

Currently, there are restrictions in place that prevent certain retired service members from receiving both disability compensation and retired pay. This bill seeks to lift those restrictions and provide additional financial support to those who have served our country and have a service-connected disability.

If passed, this legislation would benefit retired service members who have sacrificed for our nation and are living with a disability as a result of their service. It would ensure that they receive the compensation they deserve for their sacrifices and contributions to our country. Overall, Bill 119 HR 303 aims to provide additional support and financial assistance to retired members of the Armed Forces with service-connected disabilities, allowing them to receive both disability compensation and retired pay or combat-related special compensation.
