Coalition Pushes Discharge Petition
(MOAA Legislative Update 26 March 2010)
MOAA and The Military Coalition (TMC) sent a letter to Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) thanking him for filing a discharge petition for H.R. 775, a bill to repeal the deduction of VA benefits from military widows' SBP annuities. If at least 216 of the 320 H.R. 775 cosponsors sign the petition, it will force a House vote on this key legislation.
