🎉 WIT Win 🎉 In August 2022, LOE 1 (Childcare) identified a trend in off-base care facilities that were separating costs of meals from tuition costs, resulting in higher ($100-$150 per child/per month) fees to receive meals. The DAF policy did not permit reimbursement of the meals as part of fee assistance. Through persistence and engagement by the DAF WIT, OSD agreed to update the fee assistance policy for all Services. #GSD This is the policy that was released by OSD as part of the FY23-24 Fee Policy: The Military Services will increase the community-based child care fee assistance provider rate cap to $1,800 per child per month no later than January 1, 2024. A pilot initiative will support meals, when not provided by a family’s community-based provider, as follows: • For families participating in community-based fee assistance, wherein meals are not provided by their provider and a family provides all meals for their child, child care fees for full-time, full-day care will be reduced by $100 per month. • For families participating in community-based fee assistance, wherein meals are not provided by their provider and a family contracts with an outside entity to provide all meals for their child, child care fees for full-time, full-day care will be reduced by the cost of meals, not to exceed $100 per month. • For families participating in community-based fee assistance for full-time, full-day care, wherein the provider’s fees, including meal costs, remain within the $1,800 monthly provider rate cap, fee assistance will be calculated including the meal costs. • For families participating in community-based fee assistance for full-time, full-day care, wherein meals are provided and their provider’s fees are above the $1,800 per monthly rate cap, fee assistance will reimburse the provider up to $100 per month above the monthly rate cap with documentation of meal costs within the provider’s fee structure.

Family Readiness IS combat readiness. Sword Athena is out crushing it on the Homefront Readiness front.

We take great pride in showcasing the impactful community efforts of one of our Athenas, TSgt. Poyner. Poyner contributes to our FITMIT initiative, ensuring that life-saving gear accommodates Air Commandos of all shapes and sizes. “In addition to all six of the initial schools requesting Poyner and her team return to provide additional training, the schools also requested assistance in the medical supply selection process. Having Poyner and her team provide guidance on what supplies to order not only allows for increased preparedness but also helps each school utilize their medical supply budget properly.” https://lnkd.in/e32bkyPT
