This law significantly expands support for military families and veterans facing infertility issues.

Furthermore, it introduces financial assistance for adoption for eligible veterans, helping them build a family.
Key points
The DoD and VA must provide fertility treatment (including up to three IVF cycles) for service members and veterans whose infertility was not pre-existing active duty.
Active duty members can freeze and store reproductive genetic material free of charge before combat deployments or hazardous assignments to preserve reproductive options.
Veterans dealing with infertility can receive financial assistance to cover the costs associated with adopting a child, up to a limit equal to the cost of three adoptions.
