In Washington today... new legislation was introduced that will benefit those the army calls sole-survivors.

"The Hubbard Act" was named after Clovis Army Specialist, Jason Hubbard, who lost both of his brothers in the war in Iraq.

Under the U.S. military "sole survivor" policy, the last remaining sibling in a war zone can ask to return home, following the death of a brother or sister.

That's just what Jason Hubbard did.

But upon his return home, he quickly found out that he would not be receiving the transitional help he and his family were counting on.

Now he's hoping new legislation, introduced today will keep this from happening to others.

It all began with the death of 21-year-old, Marine Lance Corporal, Jared Hubbard… killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2004.

Then came the death of Army Specialist, Nathan Hubbard in 2007.

He was killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq… both the brothers of Clovis Army Specialist, Jason Hubbard.

Representative, Devin Nunes, the congressman who introduced the new legislation said, "When this tragedy happened, my phone was ringing off the hook in my office from my constituents who didn't even know the Hubbard family, saying you need to get this last son and bring him home to be with his family."

Under the U.S. military sole-survivor policy, Jason Hubbard was given that option.

The option to not only leave Iraq: but to leave Iraq, honorably.

"When I separated from the military, I had gone through probably the second worst tragedy of my entire life, losing my second brother," said Jason Hubbard.

Who also says, shortly after his return home, the Army tried to make him repay his enlistment bonus… and even denied him access to many standard benefits.

Hubbard also says he never received his final paycheck, leaving him with no money for he and his family on separation.

"I do not believe the Army had it out for me or that anybody made a poor judgment, simply the wrong type of verbage and wordage were in the policies that were in existence," said Hubard.

Now, under “The Hubbard Act,” introduced by Representative Devin Nunes Wednesday, sole survivors like Jason would not have to re-pay any military bonuses that were given...

And will be eligible for the same services, honorably discharged men and women have access to today.

"We are all honored to introduce this legislation today Jason... on behalf of not just you, but all of the American men and women who serve our country," said Representative Jim Costa.

In a statement released today, Jason’s father Jeff said the family's desire is not to complain about the situation in which Jason, his wife and young son found themselves, but rather to enjoin a process of change… to make sure these kinds of injustice do not extend to other families... where siblings have been lost in combat.

“The Hubbard Act” was introduced today by Republican Congressman Devin Nunes.

It has received much support from Representative Jim Costa and Senator Dianne Feinstein.
