If someone receives the Medal of Honor more than once, do the rank and retirement increases cumulative?
I once read that Medal of Honor recipients get an automatic promotion and and increase in retirement pay. If someone is awarded more than one Medal of Honor do they get the same increases again?

There is no military policy or regulation that states that MoH recipients are promoted or advance... but almost all are given a meritorious promotion or advancement anyway.
ENLISTED personnel are granted a 10% bonus to their RETIREMENT pay calculation (as if they had served an additional four years of active service). This bonus is only calculated ONCE per member - and it is granted for ANY award for valorous conduct - so even an Achievement Medal with "V" device (for the services that issue them) would mean that this person gets an additional 10% to their retirement pay calculation.
So for the very few folks that received two awards for valor - no, they only get the bonus ONCE.

Teddy did win the medal, yet on the time he became right into a colonel and as i examine your question, you like to understand who became into the utmost score officer- on the time- to win the medal and that could desire to be MacArthur in 1942 while he became right into a 4 action picture star popular and in accordance with senoirity became into the utmost score officer interior the U. S. military different than the army chief of group Marshall who held the only place greater than Mac's. Mac became into the only guy or woman to win the medal while he became right into a 4 action picture star popular... in my opinion i think of that the award to Mac cheapened the medal that's usualy basically provided for the main staggering acts of heroism interior the warmth of conflict, no longer for only arriving in Australia and making a speech...Mac's medal became into organic public family....And by making use of how Mac and his dad are the only father/son to the two win the medal...
