Dyess military spouse receives re-licensure reimbursement through new Air Force program
Jamie Lytton, Hendrick Medical Center physician’s assistant and wife of U.S. Air Force Maj. Travis Lytton, 7th Component Maintenance Squadron commander, took advantage of the financial reimbursement for relicensing through the Air Force when she moved from South Dakota to Texas. The 2018 National Defense Authorization Act authorizes military branches to reimburse service members and their spouses up to $500 for occupational state relicensing costs to ease the financial burden of updating professional licenses and certifications. This Total Force program, which includes active-duty Air Force, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard Airmen on Title 10 orders, will reimburse spouses provided they meet the criteria for reimbursement during state-to-state moves.
