President‘s Corner 
I am proud to assume the Presidency of your magnificent Hampton Roads
Five Star Chapter of MOAA. My predecessor, John Vermillion, did an outstanding
job for the past 2 years. I intend to uphold this tradition. Our major
goal is to continue to serve all members and their families, active duty
and retired. We do this by being a major force in our community and in
Virginia. We make sure that the Hampton Roads Chapter of MOAA is “One Powerful
Voice” locally. To do this requires dedication and hard work by your
Board and Committee members.
I ‘m asking you to join our team and become involved. You can do this
by attending as many chapter functions as possible. Join a committee. We
have several: membership, personal affairs, legislative, publicity, NROTC/JROTC,
and Social to name a few... If you would like to join the team, call me
at 430-8771 or send me an email: rayhart71@cox.net.
Thank you for your membership support.
Smooth Sailing,
Ray Hart

From the Editor 
Recently there has been an increase in the number of identity thefts.
Bogus Internet sites asking for your personal information using official
looking emails that appear to be from legitimate companies is one method.
These thieves also have found other means to obtain your personal
information. Until recently, members who were retiring were told that a
good place to store their military discharge form (DD 214) was at a courthouse.
However, when this advice was given, identity theft was not the crime of
choice. People did not realize or worry that by filing the
document with the court, it became a public record, open for inspection
by anyone. The personal information on the form such as social
security number, name, date of birth, and address, was not protected
as part of the public record. Now there are reported cases of identity
theft by way of a person’s DD form 214 being requested at a courthouse.
The thieves have used the information to apply for lines of credit
and have cost military retirees thousands of dollars in damages.
If you are a person who is about to retire, store your DD form 214
in a safe deposit box or fireproof container at home. If you
have already stored your DD form 214 at a courthouse, there are two possible
ways to protect yourself. The first, which has had mixed success,
is to go back to the courthouse and obtain the record yourself to have
it deleted from the public records. Every jurisdiction will have
its own procedure to accomplish this. To find out the procedures
for your jurisdiction, go to the clerk of the court where the document
was filed and ask a records custodian for the procedures for removing a
document from the public record. The most common way is to
petition the local court where the document was filed. An example
of such a petition with instructions is available at your MOAA national
website.
Another way to safeguard your information is to check for any laws passed
by our state legislature protecting your personal data.
Several states, including Florida, have taken up the issue in their
legislatures. Check with your nearest base legal office to find out
the status of any such bills in our state. There are also some general
guidelines you should follow to protect yourself against and catch identity
theft early. First, every six months order a copy of your credit
report from the three major credit reporting agencies: Experion (888)
397-3742, Equifax (800) 525-6285, and TransUnion (800) 680-7289.
Instructions for Petition to Remove DD 214 from Public Record may be found
at the MOAA web site, www.moaa.org/Benefits/RemoveData.asp. |

| Important News for Medicare and Tricare Beneficiaries
TRICARE beneficiaries who are entitled to Medicare Part A because of
age, disability or End Stage Renal Disease were required by law to enroll
in Medicare Part B by the end of 2004 in order to retain their Tricare
benefits. The Department of Defense notified beneficiaries of this requirement
and deadline, but many military retirees had previously been advised that
they would be automatically enrolled for Part B coverage. Many
”dual-eligible” beneficiaries (those who are eligible for TRICARE and Medicare)
received a letter from the Social Security Administration (SSA) stating
that they had, in fact, been automatically enrolled. Some dual-eligible
did not receive such a notification and were NOT automatically registered
for Part B coverage. If you are eligible for these benefits
and did NOT receive a letter from SSA saying that you had been automatically
enrolled, please contact your local Social Security office immediately
and ask to enroll in Medicare Part B. The enrollment window will be extended
to 31 December 2005 for those eligible beneficiaries who were not automatically
enrolled in Part B, but we encourage our members to enroll as soon as possible
to avoid denied claims. |

| Legislative Victories and Challenges
- DIS. |
| MOAA and the military community had another
banner year in 2004. The FY 2005 Defense Authorization Act provided a number
of long-sought improvements in pay, benefits, and health care, including:
a. elimination of the Survivor Benefit
Plan (SBP) military "widows tax" over a relatively short 31/2 year period
for survivors age 62 and older;
b. restoration of full longevity-based
retired pay as of January 2005 for all 100-percent disabled retirees with
at least 20 qualifying years of service;
c. permanent military identification
cards for spouses and survivors age 75 and older, so they don't have to
deal with ID card renewal hassles or risk interruption of their health
coverage because their ID card expired;
d. fee-based TRICARE Standard coverage
for members of the Selected Reserve who have been mobilized for at least
90 days since Sept. 11, 2001. They'll be eligible for one year of coverage
for themselves and their families for each 90 days on active duty. When
not on active duty, they will pay a premium equal to 28 percent of the
government's cost;
e. more manpower for the Army and
Marine Corps to help ease deployment burdens on troops and families. The
Army will see a 20,000 increase in FY 2005, plus another 10,000 at the
secretary of defense's discretion. The Marine Corps will see an extra 3,000,
with discretionary authority for an additional 6,000;
f. and a 3.5 percent pay raise for
all uniformed servicemembers, one-half percentage point above the average
American's pay raise, plus an overall 7 percent housing allowance increase
to cover 100 percent of the median housing cost for each grade and locality.
All
MOAA members (and especially chapter members) deserve credit for these
victories. Our actions on Capitol Hill wouldn't have much impact if
they weren't backed up by thousands of letters, e-mails, and phone calls
from constituents. For a more extensive compilation of MOAA's
legislative gains in 2004, please visit: www.moaa.org/legislative/2004accomplishments.asp.
Despite these significant gains, much remains
to be done. Our most urgent priorities for 2005 include:
a. repeal of the law that makes
survivors of members who died of service-connected causes give up a dollar
of their SBP annuities for each dollar they receive from the VA;
b. accelerating the 2008 implementation
date for 30-year paid-up SBP coverage;
c. full elimination of the "disabled
retiree tax" that continues to deny most disabled retirees their full earned
retired pay, including acceleration of the phase-in schedule for “unemployables"
and others with less than 100-percent disability ratings;
d. expanded health coverage and
more appropriate retirement terms for Guard and Reserve members who are
absorbing far more of the operational mission than was envisioned when
the reserve system was built 50 years ago;
e. additional manpower increases
as necessary to match the vastly increased deployment requirements that
are wearing out our active duty and Guard and Reserve forces and threatening
a retention and readiness crisis if not relieved;
f. and family support increases
to better serve active duty and Guard and Reserve families, particularly
those left behind during contingency operations who do not have access
to on-base support facilities.
For a broader synopsis of legislative objectives
for the first session of the 109th Congress, visit: www.moaa.org/legislative/goals_2005.asp.
It's extremely important that all members of the military and veterans'
community lend mutual support to each other's issues. If we only support
those that affect us personally, we fragment our base of support and reduce
the chance of success on every issue. Look for a more complete list
of MOAA's 2005 goals in the January Military Officer magazine. Also,
please urge chapter members who don't already receive MOAA’s
Weekly Legislative Update to check out page 29 of the January magazine
to learn how to subscribe, stay informed, and participate in our calls
to action. |

| Boy Scouts Not Barred From Military
Facilities - INFO |
| The Pentagon has recently clarified some
misunderstandings concerning the implications of an American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) lawsuit regarding the Boy Scouts' relationship with the military.
The lawsuit contended that the military should not sponsor the Scouts because
the organization requires members to believe in God. Some have worried
the lawsuit might result in the Boy Scouts being barred from military installations.
DoD has issued clarifying information that the Scouts will continue to
be allowed to use military facilities on the same basis as other organizations.
In addition, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has written congressional
leaders to clarify DoD's intent to continue support for scouting jamborees. |

| Army Expects to Eliminate CRSC Backlog
by February - DIS |
| The Army’s Combat-Related Special Compensation
(CRSC) office expects to complete processing of all pending applications
by February 2005. At that point, we expect to be able to provide
a decision within 30 days of the time a new application is received. These
quicker adjudication decisions will be based on the documentation provided
by the applicant. If necessary, decisions will be returned with instructions
on how to obtain additional supporting documentation and resubmit for reconsideration.
To better handle all inquiries, the CRSC
Service Center hours have also been extended from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern
time. The Army CRSC office has received over 34,000 original and
reconsideration applications, with approximately 1,400 new applications
coming in each month. To view the weekly progress made on processing applications,
go to www.crsc.army.mil/utilities/stats.htm.
To obtain an application or get further
information on the CRSC program, visit the Army's official CRSC web site
at www.crsc.army.mil.
Applicants may also reach the CRSC Service Center by phone at (866) 281-3254,
by e-mail at crsc.info@us.army.mil,
by fax at (703) 325-0144, or by mail at: Department of the Army,
U.S. Army Physical Disability Agency/ Combat Related Special Compensation
(CRSC) Division, 200 Stovall St., Alexandria, VA 22332-0470.
The Army now is rendering decisions based
on the documents the retiree provides with the application. Most applicants
already provide their own documents or have obtained VA rating determinations
and other relevant documents from the local VA field office. In essence,
this puts the burden on the applicant to obtain necessary documentation
from the VA. The Army CRSC staff thinks most members would rather get immediate
action and feedback rather than waiting months for a decision that still
might require more legwork. |

| Court Backs University Limits On Recruiters
- INFO |
| In November, a three-judge panel of the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia rendered a
2-1 decision that would allow educational institutions to bar recruiters
from their campuses in protest of the military's "don't ask, don't tell"
policy on gays in the military.
The court case came about because of a
recent law change requiring suspension of government contracts with universities
that impose such restrictions. Several university law schools, including
New York University, George Washington University, Stanford, and Georgetown,
brought the suit to block implementation of the law. The government
has not yet decided whether to appeal the ruling.
MOAA believes it is important to do so,
and MOAA President Vice Adm. Norbert R. Ryan Jr., USN-Ret., has written
the secretary of defense to that effect. View the letter on MOAA's Web
Base at www.moaa.org/legislative/moaarecruitingltr.pdf.
The bottom line is that the nation is at war, and our military manpower
is stretched extremely thin. Regardless of one's opinions concerning the
"don't ask, don't tell" policy, there have to be better ways to express
those opinions than directly impeding recruitment of the manpower needed
to defend our country. |

HRCMOAA Board Recommends Annual Dues Increase
In January 2005 the HRCMOAA Board of Directors recommended that Annual
dues be increased beginning in 2006 to counter the effects of inflation
on Chapter activities. Upon approval by a vote of the membership
at the Annual Meeting scheduled for November 2005, regular member dues
will go from $12.50 yearly or $30.00 for three years to $15.00 yearly or
$39.00 for three years. While the Board struggled with this recommendation
it is pleased to note that dues will be lower than other similar organizations
in the Hampton Roads area. Dues for Auxiliary members will remain
at $7.50 yearly or $21.00 for 3 years. Should you have comments to offer,
contact a Chapter officer. |

YOUR MILITARY ID CARD HAS EXPIRED!!!
These are words you do not want to hear. If it expires, it can
be confiscated, and the renewal process may become more troublesome and
complicated due to security checks instituted by BUPERS. So don’t
let it happen to you or any of your dependents. |
| The Hampton Roads Chapter of MOAA (HRCMOAA) is introducing a Military
ID Card Notification Program to help you remember to renew your ID card
and your dependent’s ID cards in a timely fashion. This voluntary
program is totally free to those wishing to participate. A database
will be maintained and participants will be notified in sufficient time
to renew their military ID cards prior to expiration. Once you and
your dependents are enrolled, you need do nothing more. You will
be notified of your impending ID card expiration date in sufficient time
for renewal prior to the expiration date. Here are some of the basic
criteria to determine when you need to renew your ID card:
Active Duty; Active duty officers receive new ID cards with promotion
changes. In between promotions ID cards generally expire in 36 months.
A DD 1172 form is needed at renewal.
Active Duty Dependents; Dependents ID cards expire in 48 months.
A DD1172 form, signed by the sponsor, is needed. If the sponsor is
deployed, a General Power of Attorney is needed and the card will be issued
so as to expire at the end date of the General Power of Attorney.
Children’s ID cards generally expire with the 21st birthday, except College
students can be extended to the 23rd birthday with proof they are attending
college.
Retired Officers; Their ID cards medical information expires
on their 65th birthday and the card should be renewed.
Retired Officers Dependents; Dependents ID cards generally expire
in 48 months or upon the 65th birthday, whichever comes first. Remember,
it is important to purchase Medicare Part B in order to qualify for Tricare
for Life (TFL). If you draw Social Security Retirement Benefits
prior to age 65 or the normal retirement age, you will automatically be
enrolled in Medicare Part B. When the retired officer’s dependent
reports for renewal of their ID card, the retired officer is required to
accompany them. No special forms are required. When a retired
officer becomes deceased, his or her dependents need to report in person
to the military ID office of their choice to replace their current ID card.
They will need a copy of the death certificate. Divorced spouses
should contact Buck Hereford, Personal Affairs at 486-7639 or Walt Wesolowski
at 518-0265.
Deers; Renewal of you military ID card automatically updates
your DEER’s information, which is critical in receiving military medical
benefits.
Handicapped; Dependents that are handicapped upon reaching their
21st birthday will need a Doctor’s certification that they are handicapped
and the extent of the condition in order to renew their military ID card.
BUMED and the Project Office in Memphis, TN will jointly decide the expiration
date of the military ID card. |
| To enroll in this voluntary program, fill in the
form at the link below for each dependent and Send by Email or Print and
Mail to: Military ID Card Notification Program, HRCMOAA, P.O. Box 4612,

Older Spouses, Survivors Get Permanent IDs
As part of the Defense Authorization Act, Congress has adopted MOAA's
suggestion to ease the burden of ID card renewal for older spouses and
survivors. Beginning in 2005, retiree spouses and survivors age 75 and
older will be able to obtain permanent ID cards.
Military retirees already receive ID cards with no expiration date.
But until now, all dependents and survivors have had to continue appearing
in person to renew their ID cards every four years - or navigate a burdensome
renewal-by-mail process.
Note: The Personnel Support Activities (PSAs) do not have any
further information on the actual implementation of this program.
Contact Buck Hereford, Personal Affairs at 486-7639 or Walt
Wesolowski at 518-0265 if you have any questions. |

| A Tuesday New York Times op-ed piece raised eyebrows among the MOAA
staff and members around the country by carping about the cost of TRICARE
For Life, concurrent receipt, SBP, and other recent legislation. Author
Cindy Williams, a research scientist at MIT, said the cost of these and
other benefits are a weight on the DoD budget and don't do anything to
help current retention. MOAA President VADM Norb Ryan, Jr.'s (USN-Ret)
January 12 letter to the Times provided a forceful rebuttal to the "factual
errors and ill-founded assertions" in Williams' piece. VADM Ryan’s
letter to the Editor is included for your information. |
| Dear Editor:
Cindy Williams' Jan. 11 op-ed piece ("Making the Cuts, Keeping the Benefits)
was a woeful compendium of factual errors and ill-founded assertions that
was not helpful to any reasonable debate on defense spending.
Ms. Williams asserted that Congress' 2000 legislation to extend supplemental
health coverage to Medicare-eligible military retirees "costs the Dense
Department nearly $4 billion now and its costs will rise over the coming
years." Not So. Congress has shifted funding responsibility for this program
to the Treasury Department to ensue that not one cent for this long-overdue
coverage will come at the expense of other programs in the Defense Budget.
She also criticized more recent legislation that ended the odious practice
of making combat-disabled and other severely disabled military retirees
fund their own disability compensation by giving up part or all of their
retired pay, asserting that will cost the Pentagon $2.5 billion a year
in the future. In fact, Congress tasked the Treasury to fund that long-overdue
fix, as well. The Pentagon won't have to pay a penny.
She criticized the cost of repealing a 1986 law that would have cut
military retirement benefits by 22% or more for people who entered service
after that date. But she failed to report that the Secretary of Defense
and Joint Chiefs of staff unanimously urged that repeal in 1999 because
the reduced career incentive had helped generate a retention and readiness
crisis. They recognized that it would cost the country far more to endure
a manpower-related readiness shortfall and then still have to recruit,
train and grow replacements for experienced troops who were leaving service
because the sacrifices of a military career outweighed the expected benefits.
Ms. Williams claims that deferred entitlements do nothing to foster
retention in today's force. Wrong again. Today's servicemembers and their
families are better-informed than any force of the past. They understand
what Congress has understood very well -- that a government that breaks
faith with those who defended the country in the past can only deter today's
force from serving a career in uniform.
In the if 1970s and again in the late 1990s, Congress came to appreciate
what Ms. William doesn't - that cutting such benefits has, in fact, hurt
retention. The problems didn't surface among first-term people in uniform,
but among those at the 8- to 12-year point. That's when their families
question whether multiple relocations, extended family separations, repeated
risk to life and limb, and a host of other military-specific sacrifices
are worth the expected benefits of a military career.
Ms. William wants to look at the price of military manpower in isolation,
when the real issues are "What's the alternative cost associated with reduced
national security when fewer people want to serve a career in uniform?"
and "How much will it cost and how long will it take to recruit, train,
grow high-quality replacements when large numbers of experienced career
people elect to leave service?"
In the past, complaints about military people costs usually have been
raised only when the public perceived a low threat to national security.
Like Ms. Williams, too many have forgotten too often the sacrifices today's
military retirees and survivors bore for multiple decades - with many seeing
combat in three or more major wars. She's right that only a minority are
willing to accept the repeated burdens of such extended service. She's
wrong in dismissing that group as unworthy of fair compensation.
Ms William has scaled. new heights of ironic ivory-towerism in carping
over the cost of compensating those who spend a career defending our country
- at a time when their extraordinary strains and sacrifices are so searingly
evident in every front page you print.
Sincerely,
 |
