I'd like to see the minimum rating of 50% for VA ratings done way with, so that all retirees regardless of their VA rating get their full retirement and full VA compensation

I'd like to see the offset of military retirement, for military retirees that are also receiving VA compensation but are rated 40% or less be done away with, the two benefits are two different benefits and are earned equally, therefore they should be provided equally.

A similar offset for surviving spouses who receive DIC (Dependency and Indemnity Compensation) and the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) was done away with earlier this year, so it is time to eliminate the offset for retirees that have a service connected rating through the VA of 40% or less.

Specifically, the bill provides continuing appropriations from state allocations for the pay and allowances of (1) members of the Utah National Guard Traditional force who perform duties in an IDT status during the period of laps in federal funding.
If a government shutdown occurs, the bill provides the continuing appropriations until the federal funds are acquired.
