The Department of the Navy is dedicated to supporting families and currently provides resources and advocacy for spouse employment. Section 556 of the National Defense Authorization Action FY18 provides the Navy the opportunity to reimburse members up to $500 for state licensure and certification costs of a spouse of a member of the Armed Forces arising from relocation to another state due to a permanent change of station (PCS) or permanent change of assignment. NDAA FY 20 Section 577 increased the amount up to $1,000.
Policy
Members may be reimbursed for qualifying relicensing costs of their spouse. Service member may be reimbursed, up to $500 for PCS orders issued 12 Dec 2017 to 19 Dec 2019, or up to $1,000 for those orders issued on or after 20 Dec 2019, for his or her spouse’s relicensing costs when
all
of the following qualifying conditions are met:
1. The member is reassigned, either as a PCS or permanent change of assignment from a permanent duty station (PDS) in one state to a PDS in another state.
