Vets' Care Deal Sealed Mr. Small, After weeks of tense negotiations over dueling versions of legislation to address the plight of tens of thousands of veterans stuck on long waiting lists for care from the VA, House and Senate conferees hammered out a final agreement this week. The compromise is expected to be passed before Congress breaks for the month-long August recess.

New Scholarships for Surviving Spouses A provision in the VA compromise deal would grant new education opportunities to surviving spouses of servicemembers who died in the line of duty after Sep. 10, 2001. Predatory Lenders Target Servicemembers TheConsumer Financial Protection Bureau and 13 state attorneys general secured $92 million in debt relief for about 17,000 U.S. service members harmed by a predatory lending scheme. McDonald Confirmed as VA Secretary West Point graduate and former Procter & Gamble CEO Bob McDonald was confirmed this week as the next Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Big Win for Student Vets The VA will now reimburse the cost of schooling at the in-state rate for all veterans enrolled under the GI Bill at any public college or university no matter where the veteran resides. Make a Difference this August During the month of August, most elected officials return to their home states/districts. We encourage you to visit your legislators' local offices and use MOAA-provided materials to educate them on key concerns.
