The purpose of the spouse preference program is to to reduce the impact of frequent relocations on spouses careers. It applies to those military spouses who relocate to accompany their sponsor on a permanent change of station (PCS) move to an ACTIVE duty location. Section 806 of Public Law 99-145, "Department of Defense (DoD) Authorization Act of 1986," directed DoD to increase employment opportunities for spouses of active duty Armed Forces personnel.
Eligibility: Spouses of active duty military members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including the U.S. Coast Guard and full time National Guard .
The military spouse claiming the preference may register 30 days prior to the sponsor’s reporting.
