RUMOR or FACT the elements of the PACT act have been folded into the Gold Star Families resolution and that’s what we all should be watching. We were led to believe this was a done deal and now rumors are between abortion riders and 400 billion in non-veteran costs the Toxic bill is hung up in politics
Hey Sgt, I would encourage anyone seeking assistance with the fallout from PTSD to seek medical care. But there are a lot of things someone can do for themselves in the meantime.
I am about to retire from army reserve. 11 years active and 18 years reserve. I work for the department of the army as a civilian along side active army personnel and the conversations surrounding retirement always start with “What state are you going to retire to?” California is not even on the list of possibilities. The taxes here are too high for retirees and the cost of living is ludicrous. Even though I have famikyvand roots in CA it doesn’t make sense to stay. If this bill were to make it through, ki don’t know, maybe I could reevaluate my prospects. But as of today, CA is NA for tax reasons
Another bill that needs to be approved is the pension and compensation pairing elimination for those with less than 50% compensation. After 3 years in active service (1971-1974) and 24 years in the active reserve (SFC Ret.) I deserve it.
Thanks.

Correction made. Thanks for the input, Jeff!
Need to make a correction..It has to be passed again by the senate before it goes to POTUS.
Thanks for trying. I believe California is one of only 5 States that taxes the retirement pay of veterans.
I and all 100% disabled veterans fully agree that property taxes should be completely eliminated on a veterans principal place of residence.

The VA has some online resources: https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand_tx/tx_basics.asp
I hope this helps.

Big kudos to Congress and Pres. Biden for doing the right thing. Only NO votes were
Republicans,. Shame on them.
