Bill > HR6097

This bill, known as the Transition Improvement by Estimating Risk (TIER) Act of 2025, amends the existing Transition Assistance Program (TAP) to include additional personal and family factors when designing transition pathways for service members leaving the military. Specifically, the bill requires TAP to consider new elements such as a service member's child care requirements (including participation in the Exceptional Family Member Program, which supports families with special needs), the employment status of other household adults, the location of the member's duty station (particularly if they were separated from family during service), and the impact of operational tempo and personnel tempo on the member and their household. These additions aim to create more personalized and comprehensive transition support by recognizing the complex personal circumstances that can affect a service member's successful reintegration into civilian life. The bill modifies Section 1142(c)(1) of title 10 of the United States Code by adding these new considerations to the existing transition assistance guidelines.
