Bill overview
This bill authorizes the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot program to test whether providing monthly coupons to junior enlisted members of the military can improve access to affordable and healthy food. The program would offer coupons usable only at military commissaries, and the Secretary will select installations based on factors like the number of enlisted members in unaccompanied housing and dining facility satisfaction. The program’s success will be evaluated through a report to Congress detailing usage, member feedback, and the impact on commissary and dining facility use.
