Veterans, Advocates, Friends, Family and everyone in between - Contact your elected Representatives in D.C. and ask that they support HR 4335, VALID Act (in the House of Representatives side) and S. 2496, VALID Act (on the Senate side). You can google their contact info. Let’s fill up their inboxes. If you need help with contact info, let me know. I’ll get it to you!!

VAREP-South Central Alaska is in Washington DC this week to advocate for veterans on Capitol Hill.

This week, we’ll be meeting with Congressional staffers and presenting VAREP’s 5-Point Plan. Part of that plan includes getting the VA Loan Informed Disclosure (VALID Act) bill out of committee and onto the floor for a vote. The VALID Act would add specific verbiage into a currently mandated Informed Consent Loan Disclosure that would show VA Loan costs side-by-side against other loan types. It would provide full transparency to veterans when using their VA home loan benefit and put the veteran in the driver’s seat when choosing which loan type to use to purchase a home. It’s a simple ask and we think veterans have earned the right to know the benefits of using the VA Home Loan Guaranty. Even though it seems like a no-brainer, we are still facing opposition on the Hill.

Our Call to Action: PLEASE contact your elected representatives in DC and ask them to get behind the VALID Act.

In the House of Representatives, ask that they co-sponsor H.R. 4335.

In the Senate, ask that they co-sponsor S.2496.

Thank you for your assistance! Together, we can get this done!

We Are VAREP!

Stop your scroll!! Take a Quick Hot Minute to send a note to your Rep in DC. AFSA is working to move legislation (HR 1282 - Maj Richard Star Act) that would change the current law that takes away $1 in military retirement pay for every $1 in VA disability rating compensation for vets rated 40% and under (Concurrent Receipt). Currently, 50% and above is Concurrent Receipt. The Maj Richard Star Act would extend Concurrent Receipt to all VA disability ratings. The form is pre-filled out for you. Just add your name and address and click send. Couldn’t be easier!!!

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE |

Today, AFSA as part of the STAR Act Working Group, took part in meetings with congressional staff about how we can waive the CUTGO rule that is preventing the Major Richard Star Act from being included in the NDAA.

You can help support the Major Richard Star Act by sending a letter to your representative which can be easily accomplished via our VoterVoice campaign found here: https://www.votervoice.net/AFSA/Campaigns/114954/Respond
