Assistance to Military Spouses

The Department of Defense (DOD) is pleased to announce that the MyCAA program will resume operations on March 13, 2010, at 12 noon (EST), with the following provisions:

• Military spouses who currently have existing MyCAA accounts will be allowed to apply courses to their MyCAA funding for approval. Those who wish to use MyCAA funding for spring on-site session 2 must apply immediately to get financial assistance approved before classes begin on March 22, 2010.

• The program will operate with the same policies and procedures that were in place before the hiatus. MyCAA will not fund any courses that do not have an approved financial assistance document prior to the start date of the course.
  
  
• No new accounts can be created at this time.
