Hr 4667 *update*

I need some help finding an online chart of the supposed increase.

I also have read that this Cost of Living increase will most probably NOT happen as it didn't happen last year either? That was on Watchdog.org i believe?

If anyone has any further info please post it.

(I added this info above based off of a print out sheet FROM the VA that they are handing out. A friend of mine was there yesterday(Pineville, LA) on a check up and they gave it to him)

no one eh?

Ok can someone who is more Law savvy verify that what I'm reading is indeed True?

Will disabled veterans see the increase's that I've described above?

Thanks


If you check the link above you can now see that the President has now signed it into LAW on September 30th.

Ok this is theUPDATE

The numbers I posted from the hand out sheet were made up and passed along via E-mail and obviously someone's wet dream.

The Bill that was passed is the same bill that gets passed every year however i was told this when I e-mailed VAwatchdog.com

I asked;

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-4667

How legitimate is this website? I've read your articles stating that
there will be no increase yet see here on the link that the President
has signed this into law Sep. 30th, 2010.

Is there a chart that shows the actual increases?

Is this really all false?

What exactly is HR 4667?

He answered;

The site is accurate. The bill is one that is passed every year automatically. If you read the bill you'll see that vets' COLA is tied to Social Security COLA. At this time it is tracking at zero. Chart here ... http://www.moaa.org/lac/lac_issues/...jor_retired/lac_issues_major_retired_cola.htm

As long as the red line is at or below the thick black line, no COLA in 2011.
