A Surviving Spouse whose SBP annuity is offset by DIC is entitled to a monthly Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance (SSIA) from the Department of Defense. In Fiscal Year 2016, the monthly payment is $275. It will increase to $310 during FY 2017, and under current law, will terminate at the end of FY 2017.
Barbells, weights, and dumbbells come in different forms. Some are metal only, while others are rubber only. Some may be a combination of both. Others are made with a urethane coating. Each requires a specific cleaning solution for maintenance and long wear.
Commercial fitness centers typically don't use standard barbells because they don't hold as much weight as an Olympic barbell, but they are convenient for home gyms because they don't take up as much space. A standard barbell is usually between 5 and 6 feet long and about 1-inch thick the entire length of the bar. The weight of the bar varies among models, but is typically between 15 and 25 lbs.
