Alabama lawmakers are advocating for the Major Richard Star Act, a bill that would allow combat-injured veterans to keep their full military retirement pay alongside disability benefits. Currently, about 1,500 Alabama veterans are affected by federal rules that reduce retirement pay when they receive disability compensation for early retirement due to injuries. Nationally, over 54,000 veterans face similar financial losses. The Wounded Warrior Project is pushing for House Resolution fifty-eight, which could lead to significant changes in benefits for these veterans.
