Life as a military member presents many challenges, including frequent changes of location, irregular work hours, and overseas deployments. But alongside these burdens, there are also significant financial benefits that can make life easier for soldiers and their families. A key advantage is the tax-free housing subsidy, which covers all or part of the rent or mortgage costs if you do not live in military accommodation. The amount of the subsidy depends on the location of the place of work, the rank and the number of dependents.
Another significant advantage is the opportunity to receive free higher education. The Post-9/11 GI Bill covers the full cost of tuition and fees at public colleges for up to 36 months. Private or foreign universities are also supported up to a certain amount per year. This regulation also includes subsidies for housing costs, books and other expenses. A particularly advantageous option is to transfer these educational benefits to spouses or children once certain periods of service have been completed.
Retirement planning is another area where the military offers attractive options. Military members can take advantage of the Thrift Savings Plan, a tax-advantaged retirement plan that has low fees. Under the Blended Retirement System, introduced in 2018, soldiers receive automatic contributions from the government as well as additional matching contributions. In addition, military members who serve at least 20 years are entitled to a lifetime pension that begins immediately upon leaving service.
Finally, Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance offers affordable life insurance regardless of the service member’s age or health status. For maximum coverage of $500,000, soldiers pay just $26 per month. Spouses can also be insured at favorable conditions. These financial benefits are not only an expression of appreciation for the soldiers’ service, but also essential support for their families.
