Stefanik Statement on New Military Child Care Fee Assistance Program in New York

Statement

"As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and the representative for Fort Drum, I am proud that following my consistent advocacy, the DOD will provide fee assistance to military families in New York for state-licensed childcare providers. Our military families at Fort Drum and around New York sacrifice everyday to serve our nation, it is critical that we work to alleviate the difficulties of military life. I am glad that Fort Drum families will now have access to a fee assistance program for state-licensed childcare providers, opening up many more childcare options for our military families. I will continue to fight to ensure all military families have access to affordable and high-quality childcare service; it is unacceptable to expect anything else."
