GSA and US Army Partner for Affordable Child Care

Soldier/GSA Child Care Subsidy Initiative

Active duty Army personnel will be able to use Accredited GSA centers and be charged the same rate they would be charged if they were receiving care on a Military base. The Army National Guard, Reserves, ROTC, MEPS and Recruiters are eligible.  The GSA provider will charge the regular Federal rate and the difference between the Army fee and the GSA fee will be reimbursed to the child care provider.

All questions on eligibility and application for the subsidy should be addressed to the GSA Heartland Finance Center.  All questions on center enrollment policies should be addressed to the child care center.
