Senator Tom Coburn (R OK), who requested the study by the GAO, commented: "This report shows that, like other government programs, there is little coordination between these overlapping benefits, which increase cost[s] to taxpayers. We should fulfill our promises to the men and women who serve, but we need to streamline these duplicative programs." [8]. "For decades, [the Military Officers Association of America] has sought legislation providing full relief from the 19thcentury law that required a dollar-for-dollar offset of military retired pay for VA disability compensation," wrote retired Air Force Col. Mike Hayden, then MOAA's director of government relations, in Policy changes in 2004 allowed Defense Department retirees to collect benefits from both programs simultaneously. Advocates for concurrent receipt argued that military retirement and disability benefits compensated veterans for two separate parts of their service and thus should not be mutually exclusive.

Similarly, disabled workers who receive worker's compensation for disabilities can qualify for SSDI for disabilities caused by or arising from their work. The Social Security Administration (SSA) caps total benefits at 80 percent of beneficiaries' average earnings prior to the onset of disability. In practice, the SSA considers worker's compensation and other public benefits in a total benefit calculation and reduces SSDI benefits if the total benefit were to exceed 80 percent of the beneficiaries' prior average earnings. [3] The SSA does not consider veteran benefits in its total benefit calculation. SSDI benefits for veterans are not reduced, no matter how much they receive from VA disability payments and military retirement. This creates a curious policy discrepancy between the treatment of worker's disability compensation and VA disability compensation. But many veterans groups have long argued that the two payments should be completely uncoupled.

4 Coburn (R OK), September 30, 2014,. Eligible veterans who receive military retirement pay and VA disability compensation may further supplement their income with Social Security disability benefits. Ideally, veterans would be covered by the VA disability system for serviceconnected impairments and by SSDI for nonservice-related disability. In practice, SSDI considers all impairments when assessing benefit eligibility, whether service-connected or not, which is why some veterans may receive benefits for the same impairment from both systems.
