To do just that, another method must be employed to get Congress to act on this important issue. Rep. Bilirakis has introduced HR 44 covering only those military retirees authorized veterans' compensation payments for 70 to 100 percent service-connected disabilities. He believes this is the only course Congress may have to address the issue in 1998. Meanwhile, he is seeking support from the FRA in the hope that getting Congress to enact HR 44, the door will be opened wide enough to subsequently expand coverage for other military retirees receiving VA disability payments of 10 to 60 percent. FRA members who agree with HR 44 are urged to contact their Congressional Representatives to request their support for HR 44.
All input is welcome.
