Office of Work-Life Programs : Transition Assistance Program (TAP) Financial Planning

Part of the 5-day TAP workshop this module provides Service members with the information and tools needed to identify financial responsibilities, obligations, and goals after separation from the military. Service members will build an integrated 12-month post-separation budget that reflects their employment, education, or training goals to prepare them for the financial realities of civilian life and ultimately help to ensure their personal and family financial security.
