The Military Family Limb Loss Support Act directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a new support program beginning in fiscal year 2028 to help military families dealing with limb loss or limb differences. The program will provide peer mentoring, education about limb loss care, community reintegration support, and other services to eligible beneficiaries, which include dependents of active duty, retired, and reserve military members, as well as others covered under military health care. The Defense Department can partner with experienced nonprofit organizations and other groups to deliver these services in virtual or in-person formats. The Secretary must submit an implementation plan to Congress within 180 days of the bill's enactment that outlines how organizations will be selected, estimated costs and staffing needs, and performance metrics for evaluating the program's success. The department will also be required to submit annual reports for four years describing how many people were served, what services were provided, any geographic gaps in coverage, and recommendations for improving support for affected military families.
