AUXILIARY CORNER FROM THE AFFILIATE

The monthly edition of THE AFFLIATE sent out by MOAA’s Council & Chapter Affairs generally has a section called AUXILIARY CORNER.

In the January issue it was suggested that Auxiliary members should check their ID cards for expiration date. The ID cards are also connected to DEERS . If at renewal time you have reached 75 years of age, you will receive a permanent card.

In the February issue the discussion was on the DIC offset which is of major interest to many of our widows. A reprint of that article gives what headway has been made so far. It is described as a “foot in the door”.

In April, survivor benefit annuitants will receive the last raise to remove the Social Security offset. The raise will be reflected in the May checks. From then on any raises will come as “cost-of-living increases” at the beginning of the year.

THE AFFILIATE is available on line at www.moaa.org as well as by hard copy.
