  • 2024-31661 — Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 621
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking public comments on a proposed information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This proposal involves the Family Member Travel Screening, which uses DD Forms 3040 series to assess special medical, dental, and educational needs of military family members accompanying service members to certain duty stations. The process will help determine the availability of necessary services at these locations. Public comments will be accepted until February 5, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The DoD wants to make sure families of military members can get the special help they need when they move to new places, so they are asking people what they think about checking forms to find out what help is needed and available. They are still figuring out how much this will cost and who will pay for it.

  • 2025-01127 — Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Overseas: Revision to Definition of Drafts
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5631
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Department of Defense has issued a final rule to modernize how food benefits are provided under the WIC Overseas Program, a program for military personnel and their families stationed overseas. Previously, benefits were issued as paper vouchers, known as "drafts," which had to be used all at once. The new rule allows these drafts to also be in electronic forms, like benefit cards, which offer more flexibility and convenience for participants. The change is considered a minor update and was made without public notice or a comment period, due to its technical nature.

    Simple Explanation

    The Defense Department has made a small change to how military families get food help when they're living in other countries. Now, instead of just using paper to get their food, they can also use a card, like a bank card, which is easier to use.
