Summary: The Coast Guard Combat-Injured Tax Fairness Act ensures that Coast Guard veterans who received combat-related disability severance payments are treated equally under tax law compared to members of other military branches. It directs the Department of Homeland Security to identify affected veterans who had taxes improperly withheld and notify them of their eligibility for tax refunds. This bill restores financial relief to combat-injured Coast Guard personnel retroactively.
