Dept of Mo August 2010 General Orders -

Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay

Posted at 11:42 AM on Monday, July 26, 2010 by D9 Webmaster

Those eligible must submit a claim by Oct. 21, 2010.

The 2009 War Supplemental Appropriations Act established Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay (RSLSP), providing $500 for each month/partial month served in stop loss status. Service members, veterans, and beneficiaries of servicemembers whose service was involuntarily extended under Stop Loss between Sept. 11, 2001 and Sept. 30, 2009 are eligible for RSLSP.

To receive this benefit, those who served under stop loss must submit a claim for the special pay. Throughout the year, the services have been reaching out to servicemembers, veterans and their families through direct mail, veteran service organizations, and the media. But there is still money left to be claimed, and the deadline is approaching. The average benefit is $3,700.

USS Missouri Commissioning Celebration -

    Join Kansas City Power & Light District and Boulevard Brewing Company on July 31st to watch the historic commissioning of the USS Missouri (SSN-780) submarine. Festivities will kick off in the KC Live! Block at 9:30 am with a musical salute to our Troops and the state of Missouri followed by the live broadcast streamed from Groton, Conn., where the commissioning is happening. Continue to celebrate the once-in-a-lifetime event after the broadcast with live music.

Comrades,
    When the TV cameras go on I think they should see a Power and Light District full of VFW hats. This submarine will replace the Battleship Missouri and deserves our full support. I hope to see you all there.

D9 HUD helping homeless vets

FYI

 

Apparently, HUD has come up with a program similar to "Section 8 Housing," however there is no waiting list and no disability requirement for veterans who are homeless, but it looks like they do need to be linked up with VHA and participate in a panel interview to determine eligibility. From there it can take 3 months for placement in an apartment.  Just learned about this from a vet today.
