October 4, 2007, 8:49am (report abuse)This bill should be passed into law whatever the process. The Sec/Nav Retiree Council USMC Reps should be ashamed, especially lstSgt Larry Woods. No one in the military gets retired pay in advance! To reclaim the last month's pay is stealing to put it bluntly. This bill would also apply to social security and civil service employees just to mention a few. Pass this bill; it will benefit ALL vets! DAV, where are you hiding?

December 7, 2008, 1:52am (report abuse)The Military Retirees Survivor Comfort Bill language supports the mis-conception that personnel who are invited to participate in the military retirement system are pensioners. Please, correct this by sipulating that "the subject service member's pay is disbursed to their Defense Finance and Accounting Service account on the first day of the month immediately following performance of the required monthly service."
