- Summary:
- Military spouses and families sometimes struggle financially. For example, a 2022 U.S. Department of Defense report noted that 24 percent of active-duty service members indicated some level of food insecurity in 2020, the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. In 2021 and 2022, soldiers and Army spouses reported that financial issues, such as challenges with spouse employment and military pay and benefits, were among the top five problems that they experienced. To further explore these and other issues facing U.S. Army spouses and families, RAND Corporation researchers used the Today's Army Spouse Panel to measure financial vulnerabilities and to track financial indicators over time. Analyses of data collected from this panel offer insight into the financial vulnerabilities and strengths of U.S. Army families, including food insecurity, trouble paying various bills, experience of household financial strain, and use of and interest in financial resources.
