A Strong Start Is Critical to the Success of the Major Richard Star Act
Despite wide bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, the clock ran out on the 117th Congress before it passed much-needed reforms to benefit 50,000 combat-injured veterans. MOAA and The Military Coalition (TMC), a group of 35 organizations (including MOAA) representing nearly 5.5 million servicemembers, veterans, their families, and survivors, are working to ensure that doesn’t happen again.
The House and Senate versions of the bill are expected to be officially reintroduced in mid-February, so there is still time to get your elected officials signed on. Check here to see if they supported the legislation last session: H.R. 1282 | S. 344
