🚨🚨🚨DID YOU KNOW🚨🚨🚨

Under current law, military widows eligible for both SBP and DIC must forfeit a dollar of their SBP annuity for every dollar of DIC received from the VA. The offset often entirely wipes out the SBP annuity THAT THEY PAID FOR?

No other federal employee's surviving spouse is required to forfeit his or her federal annuity because military service caused their sponsor's death.

"The SBP-DIC offset became personal to me April 27, 2011 - the day Maj. David Brodeur was killed in Afghanistan when a rogue Afghan colonel entered an operations center in Kabul and summarily killed 10 individuals....

...Before David's deployment, my wife and I promised him we would take care of his family while he was deployed, not knowing that promise would become a lifetime commitment." ~ LT. GEN. DANA T. ATKINS, USAF (RET.)

Congress knows this inequity needs to be fixed. Over the past few years, both the House and the Senate have introduced bills to eliminate the offset. 

THIS SHOULD BE BIPARTISAN!

It is time for our Congress to weigh in & lead. Less than 1 percent of our country serves in uniform, less than 6 percent have ever served. The solution to this inequity must be borne by all citizens - with the service members sharing in that responsibility, not going it alone.

Why are our veterans widowed spouses having benefits stolen from them???
