LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

​May 2025​

​​

Wow!  Who knows what’s happening in DC?!  As the DOGE team looks at ways to make the government more efficient and economical, we need to make sure that legislators don’t forget the promises our government made to America’s uniformed service folks.  During the MOAA AinA event in April we specifically emphasized that Congress needed to make sure that they protected the “earned benefits” of America’s veterans.  The Congressional Budget office and the DOGE team keep finding ways to economize, but some of those ways include TriCare fee increases, TriCare for life enrolment fees, closing of commissaries, and more.  So far none of those options have made it into the legislative language, BUT it might.  So, as always, we need to continue to be vigilant.  We need to watch what Congress is doing.  And we need to make sure that our elected officials understand that they need to honor their promises to our uniformed service veterans.  Keep checking the MOAA weekly emails and using the Advocacy Action links on the MOAA website. 

 

With only 100 Congressional members who are veterans, it is important that the rest of the folks on the Hill hear from veterans – veterans who have Never Stopped Serving! That’s us!
