Senate bill would stop VA from withholding veterans’ disability checks to recoup separation pay
A Senate proposal would bar the Department of Veterans Affairs from withholding disability checks to recoup lump-sum separation payments given to service members who left before 20 years.
For veterans who received a lump-sum separation payment because they left before completing 20 years of service, the Department of Veterans Affairs can withhold later disability checks until it recoups that money.
