Larsen Supports Cost-of-Living Increase for Veterans
Washington, DC,
November 2, 2011
Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, today supported a bill that will provide nearly 4 million veterans a cost-of-living increase for their benefits to match the 3.6 percent increase provided to Social Security recipients. The bill, S. 894, was approved by the House of Representatives and now goes to the President for his signature. “Our veterans fully deserve this overdue increase in their benefits, and I’m proud to have supported this bill,” Larsen said. “At a time when so many of our veterans are struggling to make ends meet, this cost-of-living increase will be a welcome boost.” |
