Do Not Raise TRICARE Fees

Yes, your TRICARE fees and cost shares are once again in the crosshairs. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently published their annual list of budget strategies with options for policymakers to consider as they begin the budgeting process for next year. And as we know, they will be looking to increase revenue any way they can get it – so knowing in advance the areas they are going to focus on is a powerful offense for MOAA.
Protect Gold Star spouses during future shutdowns

Under current law, Gold Star spouses receiving benefits from the Department of Defense are protected from interruptions in payments during a government shutdown. But because Coast Guard paychecks come from the Department of Homeland Security, these survivors are still at risk.

Sustain military pay increases comparable to the growth in civilian sector wages and salaries. The employment cost index (ECI) was 3.1 percent in 2018, and our active duty servicemembers deserve the full pay raise in the FY2020 NDAA.
