A bill to require the Secretary of Defense to allow certain military spouses employed by the Department of Defense to telework full time.
This bill (S 2533) requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to offer specific work options to military spouses employed by the DoD who relocate due to their service member's permanent move. Within 30 days of a request, the DoD must either authorize 100% remote work (if the job allows it), reassign the spouse to a new DoD position at the new duty station, or grant terminal leave without pay for up to 36 months or the spouse's entire service period. It directly affects military spouses working for the DoD who move with their service member to a new permanent location. The law aims to provide flexibility during relocation without requiring the spouse to leave their job.
