Summary of Bill HR 2102

Bill 119 hr 2102, also known as the Concurrent Receipt Act, aims to amend title 10 of the United States Code to allow veterans who are receiving disability compensation and retired pay for disability to receive both concurrently. This bill specifically focuses on disability retirees with combat-related disabilities.

Currently, many veterans who are disabled due to their service in combat are forced to choose between receiving their retirement pay or disability compensation. This bill seeks to rectify this issue by allowing these veterans to receive both forms of payment simultaneously.

In addition to providing concurrent receipt of benefits, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to veterans' benefits. This includes ensuring that disabled veterans receive the full amount of benefits they are entitled to and streamlining the process for receiving these benefits. Overall, Bill 119 hr 2102 is a crucial piece of legislation that aims to support and honor the sacrifices made by disabled veterans with combat-related disabilities. By providing concurrent receipt of benefits, this bill will help ensure that these veterans receive the financial support they deserve.
