This fall the Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts program (MyCAA) will be available again beginning October 25.

This past winter (February 2010) MyCAA was paused after a surge of applications threatened to drain its budget. At the time the program provided tuition of up to $6,000 for any military spouse to train for a portable career, one capable of enduring frequent military moves.

When the program returns the benefits will top out at $4,000. In addition, only spouses of junior service members “E1-E5, W1-W2, and O1-O2” will be eligible and those eligible for the program will be restricted to pursuing associate degrees,certificates, and licenses.
