Child care is one of the biggest challenges during a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move, and we can help.

Through our Child Care for PCS program, we provide $200 per dependent child up to age 12 (maximum of $1,000 per family), to support child care needs during a PCS, retirement, or separation move. Plus, you can use any provider that works best for your family, and funds are sent directly via ACH or Zelle.

Learn more about this program and how we provide additional PCS-related support to help ease the transition for our Airmen, Guardians, and their families: https://afas.org/ccfpcs/

Did you know DoW SkillBridge remains an authorized transition pathway for eligible Service Members across all Military Services?

DoW SkillBridge allows eligible Service Members, with command approval, to participate in approved civilian internships, apprenticeships, and employment skills training during their final 180 days of service — strengthening transition readiness and employment outcomes beyond service.

This includes the Army SkillBridge Program, aka Career Skills Program (CSP), which remains active. On March 4, 2026, Army CSP counselors transitioned to the TAP Virtual Center to streamline SkillBridge services, allowing eligible members to access CSP counselors virtually to start their SkillBridge CSP application process.

Learn more about DoW SkillBridge and Service-specific policies at: https://skillbridge.osd.mil/resources.htm
