Comer pushes for action on massive delays on veterans records By Matt Smith Washington, DC -- Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.) and a group of Republican lawmakers wrote Archivist of the United States David Ferriero regarding the massive delays veterans and their families are encountering while requesting their records from the National Personnel Records Center (NRPC). The NRPC stores the personnel, health, and medical records of military personnel--active, discharged, and deceased from all branches. As of March 2021, there was a backlog of almost half a million records requests. These records are often necessary for proceeding with a military burial, obtaining VA benefits, and more. "Delayed release of military records is absolutely unacceptable. The National Personnel Records Center failed to adapt to the pandemic, and it resulted in almost half a million backlogged requests for records. Holding these records hostage inevitably delays military funerals, benefits payments, access to veteran shelters, decisions on VA claims, and more. Our military men and women and their families deserve far better than these delays. NRPC must clean up its act, address the backlog immediately, and give these families and Congress an explanation and timeline for fixing it," said Congressman Comer.

KY Individual Income Tax Filing Deadline is May 17 By Jill Midkiff Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department of Revenue (DOR) reminds taxpayers that the 2020 state individual income tax filing deadline is coming up on Monday, May 17, 2021.
