Support for Disabled National Guardsmen: Expanded Benefits and Healthcare

This act expands benefits for National Guard members who incur disabilities while performing State active duty. It includes eligibility for disability retirement from the Armed Forces and access to healthcare furnished by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This aims to ensure those serving their states receive support for injuries sustained.
Key points
National Guard members disabled during State active duty can now qualify for disability retirement from the Armed Forces.
Access to hospital care and medical services from the Department of Veterans Affairs will be provided for disabilities incurred during State active duty.
Retirement pay may be reduced if it duplicates other federal or state benefits for the same disability.
