To amend title 10, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to annually review the amount of financial assistance for child care and youth program services providers provided by the Secretary.

Key Points

• This bill requires the Department of Defense to check its child care funding levels every year. It focuses on the money given to people and centers that provide care for children of military members.
• The review would specifically look at the maximum amount of money the government pays per child each month. This helps ensure the payments keep up with the rising costs of child care.
• Military families who use child care outside of military bases would benefit most. If the review shows that costs have gone up, it could lead to more financial help to cover those expenses.
• This change aims to prevent military families from having to pay too much of their own money when local child care prices increase.
