An Arizona senator introduced a bill that would prevent veterans from being surprised when the VA docks their disability payments to recoup separation pay.
The first-come, first-serve program will offer a $25,000 bonus to enlistees who commit to eight-year contracts until the cap of 100 bonuses is reached.
The Senate is proposing a lower raise for troops than what was requested, but its bill sets aside additional funding for military quality-of-life programs.
