This Rules Committee resolution provides for House floor consideration of HR 2102 — the Major Richard Star Act — and includes the substantive bill text as an amendment in the nature of a substitute. The underlying Star Act would expand concurrent-receipt eligibility under 10 U.S.C. 1413a so that Chapter-61-disabled retirees with fewer than 20 years of service who are eligible for Combat-Related Special Compensation can receive both their military retired pay and their VA disability compensation without the standard offset reduction. About 50,000 medically retired veterans with combat-related disabilities would benefit. The resolution waives floor points of order, sets one hour of debate, and permits one motion to recommit.
