Thumbs up Capwiz Bill Note for Apr 15, 2008

Capwiz Bill Note for Apr 15, 2008


H.R.1110: 'To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow Federal civilian and military retirees to pay health insurance premiums on a pretax basis and to allow a deduction for TRICARE supplemental premiums. '
  • The following 1 sponsor was added to this bill:
    • Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (REP-FL-18) (cosponsor)

H.R.1927: 'To repeal the requirement for reduction of survivor annuities under the Survivor Benefit Plan by veterans dependency and indemnity compensation, and for other purposes. '
  • The following 1 sponsor was added to this bill:
    • Rep. Don Young (REP-AK-AL) (cosponsor)

S.604: 'A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to limit increases in the certain costs of health care services under the health care programs of the Department of Defense, and for other purposes. '
  • The following 1 sponsor was added to this bill:
    • Sen. Tom Harkin (DEM-IA) (cosponsor)
================================================== ===========
As with previous National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA), of 2006 and
2007, the 2008 NDAA did not address or correct the following issues--

-375,000 retirees with less than 50% disability denied CRDP
-327,000 retirees age 70 & 30 years still paying SBP premiums
(this provision left to take full effect in 2008)
-188,000 Chapter 61 with less than 20 years denied CRDP
(maybe 1/3 will qualify of CRSC)
- 55,000 widows denied relief from SBP/DIC
(they were allowed $50/month in 2008 phased in to add $10/month
over the next 5 years … the average offset is $800-$900/month)
