MOAA’s New Legislative Action Center

    MOAA's new Legislative Action Center will enable you and other virtual advocates to be more engaged with MOAA's advocacy in Washington, D.C. You may notice some changes at their Legislative Action Center and on individual “Take Action” messages. Their new system is designed to make it even easier to reach out to your lawmakers on these issues, as well as track what MOAA is engaging on in the halls of Congress.  To access the new action center, click here. If you have any questions, check out their FAQ section and walk-through video.

    The following subjects are among those covered by MOAA this week (April 18, 2024)

    MOAA's annual advocacy event will bring members from across the nation to Washington, D.C., on April 17 to address critical topics on MOAA’s legislative agenda.

    Bookmark this site (MOAA.org/AiA) for updates on these issues, details on the event for attendees and virtual participants, our annual MOAA awardees, and much more. And be ready to take part by registering today to use MOAA's Legislative Action Center, an easy way for all members and supporters to connect with their lawmakers.

    Continue to follow MOAA's Advocacy News page for ongoing updates regarding all of MOAA's legislative priorities. In-person AiA participants can get more information at this link.

    Support MOAA's three important issues at this year's AiA

1. Support Combat-Injured Veterans - The Major Richard Star Act would end an unjust pay offset that prevents tens of thousands of retired servicemembers from receiving the compensation they deserve. Ask Congress to include the bill in the upcoming National Defense Authorization Act.

2. Restore the Basic Allowance for Housing - Ever-growing housing costs are just one of the financial challenges faced by servicemembers and their families, especially young enlisted personnel. Ask Congress to ensure BAH again covers 100% of housing costs.

3. Protect TRICARE For Life - This earned benefit is under threat -- unfair fees and cost shares now under consideration are misguided cost-saving options. Ask Congress to reject these ideas not just for current retirees, but to protect future generations of servicemembers.

    See how our Congressional Delegation stand on key bills affecting the military, retirees and survivors.

    MOAA has created a page on their web site for each individual legislator to summarize the information for you in one spot rather than making you sort through cosponsor lists for multiple bills.

Just follow these five steps:

• Visit MOAA's elected officials page.
• Enter your zip code in the box and click "GO" or click "NH" on the map.
• Highlight the "Senate Member" or "House Member" you wish to check on and click "GO".
• Click on the link "Bills" to see their status on MOAA's key bills.
• On the issues that are important to you, click the "send message" link to send a MOAA-suggested message on that topic.

    Want to know who voted for what legislation?  Check to see how our Congressional Delegation voted on any bill!  Visit the Project Vote Smart website, click on "New Hampshire" and "GO".  There you will find a wealth of information at your fingertips not only about Congress, but other federal and state officials as well!!
