Extended Veteran's Access


Effective 1 January, 2020, newly eligible veterans and caregivers under the Purple Heart and Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act of 2018 will have access to many Department of Defense and Coast Guard MWR retail activities, including: entertainment, clubs, recreational lodging/resorts, special interest activities, bowling, golf, restaurants, marinas, equipment rental, movie theaters, vehicle storage, kennels, AmericanForcesTravel.com and more. These activities are generally self-sustaining and do not rely on appropriated funds (funding that has been specifically allocated by Congress) to operate. Use of MWR activities primarily funded by appropriations and child development programs are NOT authorized. Examples of these activities (and therefore NOT authorized for the expanded access) include indoor pools, fitness centers, recreation centers, community counseling, education programs, and more. For more information about the specifics of the Purple Heart and Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act of 2018, please visit https://download.militaryonesource.mil/12038/MOS/Factsheets/expanding-access-fact-sheet.pdf.
