Bill > HR5400

This bill amends title 10 of the United States Code to require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an annual review of financial assistance provided to child care and youth program services providers. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection to section 1798, mandating that the Secretary annually examine the total amount of financial assistance being offered, including reviewing the maximum monthly financial assistance per child that is authorized for eligible providers. The purpose of this annual review appears to be to ensure that the financial support for child care and youth programs remains appropriate and responsive to changing needs. By requiring an annual review, the bill aims to create a more dynamic and responsive approach to supporting child care services for military families, potentially allowing for adjustments in assistance levels based on current economic conditions, program effectiveness, or changing childcare costs.
