The TIER Act (Transition Improvement by Estimating Risk Act) requires the Department of Defense to expand its Transition Assistance Program by including additional personal factors when designing counseling services for military members leaving active duty. Specifically, the program must now consider childcare needs, employment status of family members, duty station location and family separation, operational demands on the service member and their household, and whether the member is Native American or an urban Indian. These changes aim to provide more personalized and relevant counseling pathways that better reflect each service member's individual circumstances and challenges during the transition to civilian life. The bill affects all military personnel using the Transition Assistance Program as they prepare to leave the military. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are specified in the legislation.
