Service members and veterans would get expanded fertility care, genetic material preservation, and adoption help.
This bill would give active duty service members and veterans much broader access to fertility treatments and counseling. It would also help service members preserve their genetic material before dangerous assignments and offer adoption assistance to veterans.
Today, service members and veterans have some limited access to fertility benefits, which may have restrictions based on marital status or specific diagnoses. This bill would greatly expand eligibility for fertility treatments and counseling for both groups, removing many of these restrictions and covering services like in vitro fertilization (up to three egg retrievals and unlimited embryo transfers) and donated genetic material. It would also introduce new benefits like free genetic material freezing for active duty members before hazardous duties and adoption assistance for veterans.
