🚨 Action Alert
The Major Richard Star Act would allow combat-disabled retirees to receive both their full retired pay and their VA disability compensation.
For thousands of families, that would mean stability instead of lifelong financial strain. When service creates the burden, our nation has a responsibility to fix it.
Tell Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act. Take action here 👉 https://t.co/QO0DxMKgpx

The introduction of H.R. 58 in the Alabama State Legislature — urging Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act — shows state leaders understand what’s at stake when veterans are denied the benefits they’ve earned.
Thank you @SenKatieBritt for supporting S. 1032 at the federal level, and we encourage other Alabama members of Congress to do the same. 54,000 veterans nationwide are counting on action. #MajorRichardStarAct
Last year, the PA House passed my Resolution (HR 234) urging Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act. The Act ensures that medically retired veterans have access to military retirement pay and Dept of Veterans Affairs disability benefits. Read more: https://t.co/cErmEESQda

315 House cosponsors.
77 Senators.
The Major Richard Star Act fixes a pay penalty on 54,000 combat-wounded retirees.
Still no vote.
Fourth Congress.
Why does this keep stalling?
I appreicated the chance at last night's SOTU to speak with Secretary @PeteHegseth about passing the Major Richard Star Act. It's time to end the Wounded Veterans Tax and ensure our disabled combat Veterans receive the full benefits they've earned through their sacrifice.
Met with the @wwp to discuss advancing the Major Richard Star Act, expanding access to mental health care, and tackling housing challenges facing our veterans.
We owe our heroes more than words, we owe them action. As a 24-year Army Veteran, I’ll keep fighting to deliver. 🇺🇸
I strongly support the Major Richard Star Act. If this Administration can find money for its misguided priorities, it can surely find the money to care for our nation’s veterans, their dependents, and their survivors. - RM @RepMarkTakano
Exciting new developments! Earlier today, the Iowa State Legislature unanimously passed HR 105, the state resolution urging Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act. The rally held this afternoon focused on why this legislation is so important to veterans' lives in Iowa and across the country.
Many thanks to the entire Iowa State Legislature for putting veterans' needs first! #MajorRichardStarAct
