Major Richard Star Act
Latest action (Apr 4, 2025) — Referred to the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs.
What it does
Congressional Research Service, Mar 14, 2025This bill allows a veteran with a combat-related disability to receive retirement pay, without reduction, concurrently with their disability compensation. This includes veterans with a combat-related disability and fewer than 20 years of creditable service. (Currently, veterans who receive combat-related special compensation and retirement pay are subject to an offset in retirement pay for concurrent receipt of such benefits.)
Face Value
as introducedHow much of this bill its name accounts for.
- Every bill starts at100
- Nothing counted against it: one area of law, and short enough that length doesn't register.
Face Value measures reach, not honesty. A big bill can be accurately named, and a low score is not an accusation — it means the contents reach further than any short title could describe. Count it yourself ↗ How this is worked out
Who lobbied on this
1 organizationThese organizations told Congress, in their own quarterly disclosures, that they were lobbying on this bill.
- International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workerswanted it passed
“…S. 409 Support No Tax Breaks for Union Busting H.R. 2692, S. 1310 Support Empowering Striking Workers Act H.R. 5206, S. 2731 Support Richard Star Act H.R. 2102, 1032” filing ↗
Most filings say only that an organization lobbied on a bill, not which side it took — where that's the case we say so rather than guessing. Quotes are verbatim from the filing. How this is built.
