The changing terrain: NDAA 2017
The House passed its FY17 NDAA on Wednesday, which included several provisions disliked by the Senate and White House. As referenced in last week’s post, the House version calls for a 2.1 percent pay raise for service members, .5% higher than Senate and White House pay raise proposals. TRICARE changes include possible annual enrollment fees for active duty and retirees. The full Senate must still pass its version of the bill, which is expected later this month. The two chambers will work together to reconcile differences, with the final measure expected in the fall.
