NCOA Legislative Priorities for 2026

1/1/2026

 
Picture
The Non Commissioned Officers Association remains focused on advocating for policies that protect the rights, benefits, and well being of enlisted Service Members, Veterans, and their Families. Our legislative priorities are guided by the real needs of those who have served and continue to serve. These priorities shape our advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and through our work with The Military Coalition.

Richard Star Act
The Richard Star Act would allow medically retired, combat disabled Veterans with fewer than 20 years of service to receive both full military retirement pay and VA disability compensation. These benefits were earned through service and sacrifice and should not be reduced or offset.

Mental Health and Suicide Prevention
NCOA continues to advocate for expanded access to mental health care, improved support systems, and policies that address suicide within the Military and Veteran community. Mental health must remain a national priority.

Love Lives On Act
This legislation would remove the remarriage penalty for surviving spouses, allowing them to remarry without losing survivor benefits earned through their loved one’s service.

NOPAIN for Veterans Act
The NOPAIN for Veterans Act supports expanded access to non opioid pain management treatments within the VA healthcare system, giving Veterans more options for safe and effective care.

Veteran Toxic Exposure
NCOA supports continued accountability and oversight related to toxic exposure, ensuring Veterans receive timely health care, recognition, and benefits for service connected illnesses.
​
These priorities represent our commitment to protecting those who have served and ensuring their voices are heard. Stay engaged with NCOA advocacy efforts by maintaining your membership and responding to legislative action alerts.
