摘要

After more than a week of debate and consideration of more than 300 amendments, the Senate passed its version of the FY 2010 National Defense Authorization Bill (S. 1390) July 23 by a vote of 87-7.rnOne key amendment was Sen. Bill Nelson's (D-Fla.) initiative to end the deduction of VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) from military Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) annuities. Upon learning at 8 a.m. July 21 the amendment would be considered that same afternoon, MOAA sent out a special alert to Legislative Update subscribers.
