Application FAQs
What documents are needed to apply?
You will need BOTH a copy of the most recent LES/ SRB and DD 1172-2, also known as the DEERS Verification Form
Where do I find the DD 1172-2?
The DD 1172-2 Form can be found online on MilConnect (https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/self_service/). The service member will need to use their CAC card to view the form. The spouse may obtain it by going to the DEERS office but must have POA (Power of Attorney).
What if I do not have POA and my spouse is overseas/ away for training?
Contact your S1, Commander or Rear Detachment Commander.
Myself/ my spouse is out of the Army. Can we still apply?
Yes, if your ETS was within three months. Otherwise, our program is for active duty Army families stationed at Fort Carson.
We are a Gold Star/Survivor Family. Can we still apply?
Yes. We are able to accept applications within two years.
Do I have to fill out the entire application?
