The Defense Department is adjusting how much service members pay in child care fees for the 2023-2024 school year to reduce the burden on lower income families and meet the intent of Executive Order 14095. Executive Order 14095, "Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers," signed April 18, 2023, directs the DOD to improve the affordability of child care on military installations. Adjustments include a reduction in the number of fee categories from fourteen to eleven, modification of the Total Family Income categories and an increase in the highest TFI category to $160,001 and above.
