## Summary

**Strengthens financial literacy and accountability for junior service members.** This bill would expand the military's financial literacy survey and require the Defense Department to improve training tracking and deliver an implementation plan to Congress. - Service members: The survey would measure current financial literacy for enlisted members in pay grade E-7 and below and officers in pay grade O-4 and below and ask how members prefer to learn, including in-person classes, online modules, mobile apps, peer programs, or counseling. It would also ask which topics members want most, such as income management, debt and credit repair, saving and investing, home buying, transition planning, insurance, tuition financing, or deployment planning. - Department of Defense administrators: The Secretary of Defense would need to update administrative systems to track completion of the financial readiness training more accurately, identify and address causes of non-completion, and set a timeline to decide and implement any standardized performance measures. - Oversight and planning: The Secretary must submit an implementation timeline and strategy to Congress explaining how the changes will be carried out.
