This legislation corrects a flaw in the Bipartisan Budget Act by restoring critical cost-of-living- adjustments to military pensions. I urge House leadership to take this bill up for a vote right away. As a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, it is a top priority of mine to ensure veterans in the Coachella Valley and across the country receive the benefits they have earned.” Click here for text of the bill. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
