MOAA Legislative Priorities  
MOAA’s Legislative Priorities for the 119th Congress

MOAA’s Legislative Priorities for the 119th Congress

EXTRACT:  Complete article can be read online or the PDF. 

(This article originally appeared in the January 2025 issue of Military Officer, a magazine available to all MOAA Premium and Life members. Learn more about the magazine here; learn more about joining MOAA here.)   

By Jeff Goldberg. MOAA's Director of Government Relations for Veteran and Retired Affairs.

As the legislative slate resets for the 119th Congress, MOAA member engagement will become even more vital to achieving our advocacy objectives.

Your advocacy ensures that MOAA and the broader community of military and veteran service organizations (MSOs/VSOs) maintain momentum for existing priorities such as the Major Richard Star Act, which would benefit tens of thousands of combat-injured veterans.

We also need your help to build support for new objectives and emerging issues, often via immediate action, to respond to the sporadic nature of the legislative process.

First step: Register as an advocate in our Legislative Action Center. If you’re already registered, send the link to a family member or friend. Remember, the Legislative Action Center is open to all who support the uniformed services community.

These are among MOAA’s priorities for this year:

  • Currently Serving

    • Miltary Housing

  • Retirees/Veterans

    • Toxic Exposure

  • Family/Survivors

    • Spouse Employment

  • DoD Health Care

    • Access to care

  • VA Health Care

    • Support for caregivers

  • Persistent Efforts

    • Decrements to scheduled pay increases.

    • New TRICARE or TRICARE Pharmacy Program fees. TRICARE cost-sharing increases that exceed military retired pay COLA or TRICARE Pharmacy Program cost sharing that exceeds common industry practice.

    • Unequal decrements of compensation and  benefits  based on rank, age, family composition, retirement status, or disability benefits.
