Spouse jobs program set to relaunch

12 Oct 2010 |

The Military Spouse Career Advancement Program Accounts program is set to resume Oct. 25, but with significant changes.

Changes include limiting the availability of financial aid to spouses of active-duty servicemembers in pay grades E-1 to E-5, W1 to W-2 and O-1 to O-2.

Financial aid also will be limited to $4,000 for up to three years from start of class to fund associate's degrees, licenses and certification programs, instead of the $6,000 previously offered.

Spouses currently enrolled in the program can continue their participation through Oct. 21, when MyCAA will ramp down and prepare for the Oct. 25 relaunch. As of Oct. 25, those spouses who fall within the eligible pay grades can continue their program participation.

Spouses of Guard and Reserve members must be able to start and complete their courses while their sponsor is on Title 10 orders.
