Army to offer $1,500 in child care assistance for new PCS orders

January 22, 2020

A new child care assistance program offered by Army Emergency Relief will provide up to $500 per family over three consecutive months starting Feb. 1, Military Times reported. The assistance is for authorized Reserve and active duty personnel who do not have access to on-base care but whose off-base child care costs are higher than the existing $1,500 monthly allowance per child.
Soldiers with PCS orders within the continental U.S. must apply within 120 days after their family has arrived in the new duty station.
