ADVOCACY

TOOL KIT

Advocacy: strategy to influence policy makers when they make laws and regulations, distribute resources, and make other decisions that affect peoples' lives. Advocacy is essentially about three things:

1. Creating policies where they are needed when none exist.

2. Reforming harmful or ineffective policies.

3. Ensuring good policies are implemented and enforced.

 

The goal of advocacy is policy change.

STATE BY STATE REPORT CARD

This year, MOAA has consolidated the annual State Report Card and State Tax Guide. The color-coded maps assess each state on the taxability of military retired pay and survivor benefits (top map) and whether or not states have enacted legislation addressing servicemember and military family issues tracked by the Defense State Liaison Office (bottom map).  Click HERE to view maps and select your State and view Report Card
