Moolenaar Supports COLA Increase for Veterans

Today, the House of Representatives passed 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.

The increase would go into effect on December 1, 2018.

Congressman John Moolenaar supported the legislation and made the following statement:

"Our veterans served our country and made sacrifices to keep America safe and free and we can never do enough to repay them for all they have done. This increase will help veterans and their families and it is only a small part of how we can thank them for their service to our country."
