Veteran Benefits Enhancement Act

This bill changes the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, the federal law that pays unemployment and sickness benefits to railroad workers. Under that law, these benefits are limited for days when a person receives certain other social insurance payments. The bill would add an exception so that a qualified military benefit, as defined in the federal tax code, is not counted as one of those other social insurance payments. The bill's title says this is meant to make clear that military retirement pay is not a social insurance payment.
