Military Family Types and DoD Priority Handout

Families select their sponsor type (e.g., Active Duty Military, DoD Civilian) and spouse status (e.g., Working, Student, Seeking Employment, Non-Working) when they create or update their MCC household profile. MCC uses this information to create a military family type for the household, which is associated with a DoD priority. MCC uses the assigned DoD priority, along with the request for care date to determine sequence on the waitlist. The chart contains a complete list of all DoD priorities. CYP Professionals can use this chart as a quick reference when speaking to families about the DoD placement process or their specific DoD priority for care.
