Millions More Vets to Be Able to Shop Exchanges Online
Effective Date of Change: Veterans Day 11/11/17

Months of preparation are needed to make e-shopping portals more robust and to allow the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) time to create software for verifying veterans’ status using Department of Veterans Affairs records. For details visit: https://www.shopmyexchange.com/veterans
