Florida VFW & VFW Auxiliary Legislative Action Needed
Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (H.R. 9237/S.4744) TCAVA 🇺🇸
Our focus: Flood social media with our message to pass this legislation TCAVA. We Encourage all VFW and Auxiliary members share posts and tag your elected officials. Also, keep pushing the Action Alert and let’s break 100,000 messages! 🇺🇸
Where Things Stand - There have been no announced changes to the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act while the House and Senate have been away from Washington. The Bill is presently in the Florida house, and the Senate returns for regular business on Monday, September 14.
Congress should be able to say they did not know what Section 108 would do or where veterans stood. Keep educating lawmakers, keep speaking publicly and keep the pressure on. 🇺🇸 sounds
Key Messages - Keep repeating these four top-line messages: Cutting veterans’ benefits is a choice. Don’t choose, they’re serving today. Don’t cut their benefits tomorrow, .“Current veterans are protected” isn’t good enough. Veterans. Caregivers. Survivors. We all deserve better than this.
Supporting messages: Congress CAN expand benefits without cutting future veterans’ compensation. Budget rules do not make this outcome inevitable. Veterans with the same service-connected condition should not be treated differently because they filed claims on different dates. Veterans, caregivers, and survivors should not be forced to compete for support. Remove Section 108

Sample Phone Script
Hello, my name is ___________. I am a veteran, a VFW/Auxiliary member and a constituent from ___________.
I’m calling about the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. I support expanding benefits, but I oppose Section 108 and its cuts to future veterans’ disability compensation.
Congress can choose to remove Section 108 and pass the provisions veterans need without making future disabled veterans pay for them. I’m asking the representative/senator to oppose the bill unless Section 108 is removed.
Say Thank YOU!
