Your Legislators Need To Hear From You.
Join the Fight To Protect Your Benefi ts What if a signifi cant amount of your retirement benefi ts started casually slipping away? The current state of affairs in Congress makes this a very real possibility. The recent failure of the congressional “Super Committee” to identify $1.2 trillion in defi cit reduction measures has left you and the rest of the military community subject to disproportional budget-cutting penalties. Under current law, automatic, across-the-board defense cuts will force cutbacks in force levels, health care, commissaries, family support programs, and much, much more, starting January 2013.
Here’s a slice of potential military cuts:
• The president and congressional leaders have proposed overhauling military retirement to make it more like civilian retirement plans.
• The president and Senate leaders support a new annual enrollment fee for TRICARE For Life, and raising TRICARE pharmacy co-pays as high as $40 or more.
• Proposed cuts have the potential to dramatically reduce the value of retired pay and curtail COLA adjustments.
• Certain proposals have the potential to raise military health care costs by as much as $1,000 to $3,000 or more every year.
How can we, as an association, prevent these and other steps from happening? How can we get Congress and the president to do the right thing by our military? By using our One Powerful Voice®
we can focus their
attention on protecting military retirement, healthcare and other benefi ts against severe budget-driven cuts.
