Thousands of U.S. troops will lose a monthly cost-of-living stipend beginning Jan. 1 because fewer locations across the lower 48 states -- including the Washington D.C. metro area -- qualified as excessively expensive living areas, according to a Pentagon announcement Wednesday.
The Defense Department will pay out about $8.5 million to some 6,000 service members living in six metro areas and 20 non-metropolitan counties within the Continental United States in 2022, the Pentagon said Wednesday. Some 48,000 service members will drop from receiving the supplement after 15 metro areas and 21 non-metropolitan counties were removed from the list of qualifying locations.

Lt Col Charlie Brown Nothing like making it harder for those who serve our country to survive. Bunch of idiots at DoD. How about cutting welfare payments and make them get a job? Then they could revert this to our military members.

For an E7 with 18 years and dependents assigned to DC they’ll lose $43/month. Hardly making people destitute

Cpl Vic Burk I doubt if the COLA was that much it would meet the standard to be cut anyway
