More on Stop-loss Payments

For starters, no, I have not yet gotten the payment. Sorry if I got anyone overly excited.

As of October 30, 2009, 4200 Army Vets had applied for their retro-active stop-loss payments. (CLICK HERE to see the Stripes Central article). At first glance that seems pretty good for nine days (the application process was opened on October 20th), but it is a drop in the bucket when considering the estimated 136,000 Soldiers and their families that are eligible. That number is only for the Army. There are approximately 185,000 Veterans that may be eligible. For stop-loss payment links, CLICK HERE

We need to get the word to all OEF/OIF Veterans. If they they were not stop-lossed, they surely know someone who was. They only have until October 21, 2010 to apply for their compensation. Please use your e-mail, social networking sites, blogs, word-of-mouth, and whatever other means you can think of to let people know about this program. Thank you.
