Full-Time Telework for Military Spouses Employed by the Department of Defense.

This bill protects the employment of military spouses working for the DoD who must relocate due to their partner's permanent change of station (PCS). It mandates that the DoD must authorize 100% remote work if the job duties permit it, stabilizing their careers. If remote work is denied, the spouse must be offered reassignment or extended unpaid leave, easing the financial burden of frequent moves.
Key points
DoD employees who are military spouses and relocate due to a PCS can request full-time telework if their duties do not require physical presence.
If telework is denied, the DoD must offer reassignment to a position at the new location or grant up to 36 months of terminal unpaid leave.
The goal is to reduce career instability and financial strain for military families facing frequent relocations.
