Emerald Empire Chapter of MOAA

MOAA and The Military Coalition (TMC) are working to improve access to prenatal care with a provision in the FY 2025 NDAA that would create a pilot designating pregnancy as a qualifying life event (QLE) under TRICARE. 

Urge your lawmakers to support key provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that enhance the well-being of servicemembers and their families, including pay raises, improved housing, better child care, and expanded health care benefits. 

Urge your legislators to address TRICARE’s non-coverage of Leqembi, an FDA-approved treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. 

Contact your lawmakers and urge them to support the junior enlisted pay raise in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act to provide meaningful financial relief for the most vulnerable members of our military. 

MOAA seeks to restore the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to 100%. Our nation expects 100% from servicemembers and we need to ensure they get 100% of their housing allowance by supporting BAH restoration. 

Contact your representative and senators and urge them to support the Major Richard Star Act, which would authorize combat-injured veterans to receive their full DoD retirement pay earned for years of service and their full VA disability compensation for lifelong injury. 

Contact your representative and senators and urge them to support the Military Spouse Hiring Act which will incentivize businesses to hire military spouses. 

The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act (H.R. 8371) will expand essential VA services, improve support for caregivers, ensure access to assisted living services, and provide better resources for surviving spouses. Congress must act now to make this legislation a reality for our nation’s veterans.

MOAA and The Military Coalition are working to preserve access to care for families who need it most.

Urge your legislators to support the Maintaining our Obligation to Moms who Serve (MOMS) Act, a bipartisan bill that would establish a pilot program to assess the feasibility and impact of providing evidence-based perinatal mental health prevention programs for pregnant and postpartum uniformed servicemembers and beneficiaries within military treatment facilities (MTFs).
