SUMMARY:Veterans Get Outside Day (MVA)
DESCRIPTION:The Veterans Get Outside Day is an initiative led by Military Veteran’s Advocacy (MVA) – for their event held in Rhode Island\, click here.  “Studies have shown that individuals who spend time outdoors in natural settings\, whether they are doing sports or other activities\, have a better outlook on life. It is hoped that this event will encourage Veterans and others that may be struggling to find an activity or resources that will excite them about spending more time outside and enjoy life. It is hoped that events like Veteran Get Outside Day can help bridge that gap.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo combat the typical challenges and provide resources\, AMAC Foundation established collaborative partnerships with Veteran-related organizations through Foundation Veteran Outreach Program (FVOP). \n\n\n\nFor more about FVOP\, or to submit a story\, please visit our For Veterans page.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNotice: The links provided above connect readers to the full content of the referenced information.

SUMMARY:WEP/GPO: Repeal or Not? You Decide.
DESCRIPTION:Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset – Our Social Security Advisory staff will examine the origin of these two controversial Social Security provisions. \n\n\n\nWe’ll discuss the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset and their impact on Social Security’s retirement\, spousal\, and survivor benefits\, beginning with a review of an important ingredient in understanding the arguments pro and con—the methodology governing how Social Security benefits are calculated. Examples of the relationship between calculated benefits and Social Security’s progressive income replacement design will be used to illustrate the impact of these two much debated provisions.
