In this tough economy, there are always businesses looking to take advantage of people. Sadly, a new underhanded business practice is targeting the pensions of federal and military retirees.

In the same spirit as payday and car title loans that victimize the poor, “pension advance” schemes provide instant cash at a terrible cost.

Veterans and federal employees are encouraged to sign away pensions earned over decades for a high interest loan laden with hidden fees obscured by complex fine print.

Representative Cartwright (D-PA) has introduced a bill, H.R. 3310, that would end this unethical practice. We need your help to force John Boehner to bring this to a vote. Sign the petition here.  

Our veterans and public servants deserve better.
