IFPTE Urges House to Vote "Yes" on Major Richard Star Act to Close the Unfair Disable Veterans Pension Loophole

After gaining enough signatures to bypass House Speaker Mike Johnson’s attempt to block full House consideration of the bipartisan Major Richard Star Act, IFPTE sent a letter to all House lawmakers urging them to support the bill, while reminding them that the legislation will “permit retired members of the Armed Forces who have a service-connected disability rated less than 50% to receive both disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs for their disability and retirement pay for their military service or combat-related special compensation.”  The legislation passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 392-18.
