Bill overview
The Crime Doesn’t Pay Act of 2022 aims to improve the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) for service members leaving the military. Specifically, it requires that pre-separation counseling includes training on the potential loss of benefits – such as healthcare and education – that a service member could face if convicted of a crime. This ensures service members understand the long-term consequences of criminal activity before they depart the military. The Department of Defense is responsible for developing and implementing this new training component.
