Pilot Program Offers PCS Child Care Benefit
BLUF – The Department of Defense has launched a pilot program, running through September 30, 2027, that reimburses eligible active-duty service members for travel expenses to bring a trusted caregiver to their new duty station when full-time military child care is unavailable within 30 days of a PCS move. Navy Medicine personnel with preschool-age children may qualify for up to $500 for moves within the continental United States or $1,500 for overseas moves, provided they request care through MilitaryChildcare.com before arrival and meet additional eligibility requirements.
