Making a Difference in Ohio and the Nation
Making a Difference in Ohio and the Nation
The Military Officers Association is an independent politically non-partisan organization operated to benefit members of the uniformed services, their families and survivors. With over 380,000 members nationally it has been a strong voice in influencing legislation that resulted in TRICARE for Life, Combat related Special Compensation, Elimination of SBP 'Widows Tax', Concurrent Receipt, Guard/Reserve TRICARE and improved funding for school districts that serve military children just to name a few.
In Ohio, the Dayton Area Chapter joined with the five other chapters in the State to influence legislation to exempt military retirement pay from State Income Tax and we are working to improve license portability for both the service member and their spouse. However it is not always about legislation.

Informative Social Events
JUNE SOCIAL EVENT On June 19th at noon we will host a virtual presentation from Mr. Scott Leas, Public Affairs Specialist and Community Outreach Manager (and retired USAF), at the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs Dayton Medical Center. Scott will address eligibility requirements for obtaining VA services, the various types of medical benefits offered at the Dayton VA Center, and how eligible individuals can access this support. He will also be available for questions. While some may already know the details concerning these topics, Scott’s presentation will likely be of great interest to many of us. So plan on spending an hour or so with us on the 19th, and please be aware that the virtual link will become live at 11:30 AM for a social period for the participants before Scott’s presentation. This will be a Zoom meeting so registration is required in order for you to receive the required link. Please contact Terry Cooney at 937-427-0590 or tcooney8@gmail.com to register. |
