0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted May 15, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2014 The COLA change for 1JAN for payment was not figured correctly, so VA adjusted payments accordingly. The U.S. House of Representatives voted and passed Senate bill S. 893, the Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2013. It was subsequently signed by the President and became Public Law No: 113-52. Section 12 of [House] H.R. 357 is similar to S.893 but includes a provision calling for rounding down the COLA to the next lower dollar; that `round down’ provision is not included in S.893 (which is the version subsequently passed and also approved by the President). http://theweekincongress.com/2013/11/14/s-893-veterans-compensation-cost-of-living-adjustment-act-of-2013-2/ The Earth is degenerating these days.
