COLA Increase for Veterans Signed into Law

Today, The White House announced that President Donald Trump has signed into law the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act, giving America's veterans a cost of living increase.

The increase would apply to wartime disability compensation, additional compensation for dependents, clothing allowance, dependent and indemnity compensation to surviving spouses, and dependency compensation to children.

Congressman John Moolenaar voted for the legislation in the House in May and made the following statement today:

"This increase will help Michigan veterans who are disabled from a wartime injury and it's just a small part of how we can thank them for their selfless service to our nation."
