A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the recoupment of separation pay, special separation benefits, and voluntary separation incentive payments from members of the Armed Forces who subsequently receive disability compensation under laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs and to impose limitations on the authority of the Secretary of Defense to recoup such pay from members who subsequently receive military retired or retainer pay.

This bill would change the rules about how the military can take back certain payments that were given to service members when they left the armed forces. Specifically, it would stop the government from taking back separation pay from veterans who later receive disability payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and it would put limits on when the Department of Defense can take back that pay from those who later receive military retirement pay. No official summary is available for this bill.
