Advocacy in Action Summer Campaign

Summer AiA has two components. Volunteer leaders from MOAA’s affiliate chapters will conduct in-person meetings with lawmakers throughout August. Those visits carry more weight when reinforced by constituent messages, and that’s where we need your help.

[FROM MOAA’S PRESIDENT: Congress Is Listening. It’s Time to Act.]

This year’s summer campaign focuses on three priorities affecting veterans and servicemembers and their families right now, and where meaningful progress is within reach this congressional session:

• Expanding the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) to military spouses. WOTC expired at the end of 2025. Reauthorizing it — and adding military spouses as an eligible group — would give employers a meaningful incentive to hire a population that has faced stubbornly high unemployment for more than a decade.

• Restoring GLP-1 coverage for TRICARE For Life (TFL) beneficiaries. In August 2025, TRICARE ended coverage of GLP-1 medications for TFL beneficiaries being treated for obesity-related conditions. Thousands of retirees are now paying out of pocket or going without treatments that were improving their health. Learn More | Take Action | Share Your Story
  
  
• Supporting combat-injured veterans with the Major Richard Star Act. Combat-injured veterans who were medically retired before reaching 20 years of service currently lose a dollar of earned retirement pay for every dollar of VA disability compensation they receive. Legislation to correct that injustice has strong bipartisan support and multiple paths forward in Congress. Learn More | Take Action
