As a country, we have a solemn obligation to our men and women in uniform and their families. It's time that we honor that responsibility, and we can start by finally repealing the Military Widow's Tax. #AxeWidowsTax https://t.co/9GQ4eoviqA
It's wrong that thousands of military widows in Alabama, and across the country, are not getting the benefits they deserve. Doug has a bipartisan bill with over 70 cosponsors in the Senate that would end the Widow's Tax. It's time to #AxeWidowsTax
In honor of Memorial Day, let’s #AxeWidowsTax to honor our fallen service members and the sacrifices their families have made to protect our country and freedoms.
America’s servicemen and women risk their lives to protect our nation. The Widows Tax prevents Gold Star families from receiving the support they deserve – it has left over 65,000 surviving spouses without full access to benefits. That’s why I’m demanding we #AxeWidowsTax now.
Military families who’ve lost their service member shouldn’t have to worry about receiving the benefits their loved one earned. It is time we #AxeWidowsTax and thank our military families.
We are working hard on it Cathy. Thanks to your voice and so many others we have 75 cosponsors on my bill to eliminate this injustice. I am continuing to work both the Senate and the House to get this done. It is long past time to #AxeWidowsTax
HAPPENING NOW: I’m headed to the Senate floor to try AGAIN to repeal the military widow’s tax. Gold Star families deserve better. #AxeWidowsTax https://t.co/OddqC2Mv8y
I am incredibly frustrated that my request to pass the military widow’s tax repeal was blocked. But we’re not going to give up, and we’re not going to stop trying. It’s just the right thing to do, so I’m going to keep fighting until it’s done. Plain and simple. #AxeWidowsTax
Today, the House will vote on the NDAA rule that includes my amendment to repeal the SBP-DIC offset and END the so-called “Widow’s Tax” once and for all. The families of our fallen heroes have sacrificed enough. I urge my colleagues to vote YES. #AxeWidowsTax
Today, the House passed the FY20 NDAA Defense bill with my amendment to #AxeWidowsTax. For far too long, Congress has failed to do what's right and keep our word to our heroes and their families. That must change, starting today. LINK: https://t.co/pFbQ2IaaCo
Thank you @AnnieYuTV and WUSA9 for your efforts to help end the injustice of the SBP-DIC Offset, that takes earned benefits away from military surviving families. For the first time we have HOPE. #AxeWidowsTax
@timkaine Join your Virginia colleagues in HONORING OUR MILITARY FALLEN, by repealing SBP-DIC Offset that denies these grieving families earned income. #AxeWidowsTax This is YOUR CHANCE to make a difference. #NDAA2020
#AxeWidowstax: I am hopeful #Congress has found appropriations for the repeal of the 40yr. arcaic law #sbpoffset. We have religushed #Backpay as we know it is beyond payable now due to decades without repeal. We are only asking to receive our monthly checks. #EndWidowsTax
