Last week Rep. Jim Marshall, D-Ga., filed a discharge petition in support of HR-303, which would eliminate the offset of retired pay that many military retirees pay in exchange for disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. If the petition gains 218 signatures, the bill will go to the floor for debate and for a vote. The bill has 352 cosponsors. Military Officers Association of America president, retired Navy Vice Adm. Norbert R. Ryan, Jr., said, "It's time to convert that overwhelming support into legislative action. It's time for our cosponsors to step up, sign this discharge petition, and demand a vote that will put this into law." |
