Before leaving for the weekend, the Senate passed the Wounded Warrior Bonus Equity Act, a bill guaranteeing that a combat-related injury would not cost a service member any bonus or special pay.
The bill, S 2400, passed by voice vote and with no debate. It is not final because the House of Representatives has not passed the same bill, but similar proposals are pending in the House.
Under the bill, a service member entitled to a bonus or special pay before being injured would receive the full payment — including annual installments — if separated or retired because of the injury.
