The Major Richard Star Act now has THREE active paths to becoming law.

For years, we had one bill and one chance.

We NOW have three separate legislative avenues, giving combat-wounded veterans the best opportunity yet to finally end the unfair retirement offset.

- NDAA Amendment 947

Amendment 947 has been filed to the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). If it remains in the final NDAA, passes both chambers, and is signed by the President, the Major Richard Star Act would become law through this year’s defense bill.

- Take Care of America’s Veterans Act

The Major Richard Star Act has also been included in the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, a comprehensive veterans package that combines numerous bipartisan veterans’ bills into one legislative vehicle. This provides another strong path to enactment.

- House Discharge Petition

The House discharge petition remains active. If it reaches 218 signatures, it can force a vote on the standalone Major Richard Star Act—even if House leadership chooses not to bring it to the floor.

Three Paths. One Goal.

This is the strongest position the Major Richard Star Act has ever been in.

But none of these paths will succeed without continued grassroots advocacy.

-Call your Members of Congress.
-Send emails.
-Share on social media.
-Ask them to support ending the Wounded Warrior Tax.

Together, we will pass the Star Act this year!
