The Department of Defense announced today the resumption of the Military Spouse Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) program. Since Saturday, March 13 2010 the 136,583 military spouses currently enrolled in the program are once again able to receive tuition assistance.

"The department is working hard to adjust and meet the demands of the program and develop a long-term solution for spouses not yet enrolled who would like to establish an account," Thomas said.
