Military Spouse Preference Program for Federal
Employee's
The purpose of the Military Spouse Preference (MSP) Program is to
lesson the career interruption of spouses who relocate to accompany their
military sponsor on a permanent change of station move. By
registering in the MSP Program, eligible spouses will receive priority
consideration for vacancies at DoD activities within the commuting area of the
sponsor's new duty location. The MSP Program applies to spouses of
active duty military members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including Coast
Guard.
