State orders va comp???

My husband was just awarded 40% for mental and wrist. He is still in the la national guard, in August he was on state orders for the flood for a few weeks. I know that you have to waive either va pay or drill pay because you can't be paid both. But state orders aren't federal pay so would he have to waive the days he was on state orders for the back pay?

Good question, he may have been on state orders. Just remember that the state may have been backed by federal funds. With that being said. I personally would investigate more on this. So it does not catch you later.

waive the lesser of the two pays

I know at the beginning of the fiscal year we will do that, but since this has already been paid do we just do it additional to next years future drill dates?

Also I know the state was granted FEMA assistance but he was still paid stay pay, it didn't go throug mypay or anything.
