VFW LEGISLATIVE ALERT OPPOSE BUDGET DEAL THAT CUTS MILITARY RETIREE BENEFITS Robert, We need you to take action—and fast. The House and Senate Budget Committee have reached a deal within the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (H.J.Res.59) that includes a proposal to cut future cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) by one percent for military retirees under age 62.  The VFW calculates that this will have a devastating impact on retirement benefits for retirees and survivors. Plus, it could jeopardize the future value of military career benefits and adversely affect recruitment, retention and our national security. Call and email your legislators today and urge them to oppose any provision in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (H.J.Res.59) that tries to balance the budget on the backs of our military retirees. Tell them that current and future service members are watching. And be sure to share with your friends and family.
