Success! A provision to phase out the offset of military survivor pensions was included in FY2020 NDAA. Thank you to all who made it happen. #AxeWidowsTax

@themadpolack @TheLeadCNN @DougJones @kristen_fenty By design, this is not discussed with active duty military so no pre-planning occurs prior to death. #AxeWidowsTax

[EndTheOffset @EndTheOffset]

@themadpolack @TheLeadCNN @DougJones @kristen_fenty tldr: the pmt that says govt not liable for service member’s death is deducted from the years of service survivor pension. It looks like two separate pmts but nets to just the pension. #AxeWidowsTax

[EndTheOffset @EndTheOffset]

@themadpolack @TheLeadCNN @DougJones @kristen_fenty double haha: we tax the sh!t out of the children’s pmts as if private trust pmts #AxeWidowsTax

[EndTheOffset @EndTheOffset]

@themadpolack @TheLeadCNN @DougJones @kristen_fenty The in-shock grieving spouse is coerced to trf survivor pension to minor children to avoid the deduction where haha: pmts ends age 18 and do not revert to spouse #AxeWidowsTax

#AxeWidowsTax Stop penalizing survivor pensions of service connected deaths.

[Suzanne Manuel @SuzanneManuel2]

Thank you, @jaketapper , for supporting military widows and shining the light on how the DOD has not kept their word by withholding benefits that our dead spouses PAID-FOR!!! The NDAA needs to include military widows in their funding!

[EndTheOffset @EndTheOffset]

This ‘Skinny’ doesn’t cut it. Let your lawmakers know now is the time to stop penalizing survivor pensions of service connected deaths. #AxeWidowsTax https://t.co/TBaKJ4cbeF

[EndTheOffset @EndTheOffset]

If it’s not off the table, do you mean for this NDAA, for this session, this decade? NOW is the time to end the penalty to survivor pensions for service connected deaths. The Senate agreed 94-0 and the House included it in their version. We’re counting on you! #AxeWidowsTax

[Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe]

I am a cosponsor of the bill to repeal the SBP-DIC offset & I'm working to find a way to do so w/o harming benefits for other service members, survivors & families. A skinny NDAA does not mean this is off the table. I will always fight for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

@JimInhofe Where’s your commitment to military families whose service member died in service to our nation? You promised with your vote on 9/25 to repeal the widow’s tax but now have left it out of your NDAA. Why? #AxeWidowsTax https://t.co/8xH7mjAbmW

[EndTheOffset @EndTheOffset]

@JimInhofe Prayers are wonderful and you’re actually in a position to answer prayers for military surviving spouses. Here you are praying with two in April when you vowed to repeal the widow’s tax. Yesterday you broke your vow and left the repeal out of the NDAA. Disgraceful! #AxeWidowsTax

[EndTheOffset @EndTheOffset]

@InhofePress @JimInhofe @JimInhofe prayed with surviving military spouses in April and voted yea to supporting the repeal of the widow’s tax in the NDAA in September. Yesterday he turned his back and broke his word by not including the repeal in his skinny NDAA. Shameful! #AxeWidowsTax
