At more than 1,800 pages, the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will shape the service-earned benefits of those in uniform, and their families, well beyond the fiscal year. The bill, which cleared Congress last week and was signed into law by the president Dec. 23, includes dozens of provisions tracked by MOAA throughout the long lawmaking process … with several more proposals that did not make the final cut.

Some of these MOAA-backed moves – most notably the substantial increase in pay for junior enlisted servicemembers – already have received significant media coverage. Here’s a more complete breakdown of the legislation, including areas where MOAA hopes to secure future improvements via advocacy work with the incoming 119th Congress.
