Go to www.moaa.org/summeraction and let your lawmakers know that you support the increase of BAH back up to 100%, a pay raise for enlisted troops, and the passage of the Richard Star Act. Drop us a comment if you do--we'd love to thank you!
Jen and Cory are incredible not only at advocating for the entire military community, but at keeping us updated on what is happening on the Hill. Connect with us on all of our channels to be sure you don't miss out on the MOAA Advocacy Update!
URGENT! WE NEED YOUR HELP! Tell your lawmakers to pass the Richard Star Act to help get combat-injured veterans the benefits they deserve. Here’s how: ❗️Go to moaa.org/staract OR ❗️Call 866-272-MOAA ❗️Ask to speak with the military legislative assistant ❗️Tell them this: 🚩The Major Richard Star Act will allow combat-injured veterans to receive their earned retirement pay and their disability pay without offset. 🚩DoD is responsible for retired pay, and the VA is responsible for disability compensation. 🚩These are two different payments for two different purposes. 🚩Reducing DoD retirement pay due to a combat injury is an injustice. 🚩Congress acknowledged this as an injustice in the 2004 NDAA and partially fixed it (but not for combat-injured veterans who did not reach 20 years of service). Time is running out for this bill. Make sure your voice is heard!
Ask your senators to support the Richard Star Act today to help combat injured veterans. Go to MOAA.org/staract to send them a message. MOAA joined fellow military and veteran advocacy groups along with wounded veterans July 10th on Capitol Hill for a series of meetings with legislators—a final push to include language helping thousands of injured retirees as part of the must-pass NDAA. If passed, this bill would end an unjust offset which costs combat-injured retirees a dollar of DoD-provided retirement pay for every dollar of VA-provided disability compensation.

The NDAA, or National Defense Authorization Act, could determine the future of your pay and benefits. Come back for more on how this important bill could affect you!
Do you know what the NDAA is? This must-pass defense legislation goes through review in both the House and Senate, then both chambers will form a conference to turn it into a single bill. Stay tuned for how this could affect you!
Do you know what the USPHS does for our nation as one of the uniformed services? The answer: a LOT!🫡
Thank you to Commander Kyle V. Sheffer from the USPHS Ensemble for sharing the PHS March with us at the 57th Annual USPHS Scientific & Training Symposium. 🎶🎷

MOAA and TMC on Capitol Hill
Today MOAA went to Capitol Hill to share some key advocacy goals of The Military Coalition with staffers and to educate them on issues facing servicemembers, veterans, and their families.
It's not every day you win a Supreme Court decision. MOAA joined fellow veteran service organizations in presenting evidence the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau provides important protections for our service members. Hear more in this week's Advocacy Update with Jen Goodale and Cory Titus. (Video produced by Mike Morones)
The house armed services committee is doing their all day markup of the NDAA, but the Star Act, which would help our combat-injured, isn’t in there due to the CUTGO rule. Ask your lawmaker to waive the rule and include the Star Act (H.R. 1282) in the NDAA. Call 866-272-MOAA and ask to be connected to your congressman’s office. Ask to speak with the military legislative assistant and tell them: Combat injured are being denied earned retirement pay, we need the Speaker and Rules Committee to waive the CUTGO rule, and to please make sure H.R. 1282 is included in the NDAA.
