Financial Frontline, the Army’s online hub of financial readiness resources for Soldiers, Families, leaders and service providers, has a new web address that will continue to house videos, checklists, handouts and other essential budgeting and money-focused materials.
Personal financial readiness training is congressionally mandated under Section 992 of Title 10, United States Code. The Army's Financial Readiness Program provides free comprehensive education, training and unbiased counseling services to help Soldiers and Families secure their financial well-being, which also enhances military readiness.
The Financial Frontline website complements FRP services available through Army Community Service. Free counseling and training are available via the website or in person, through ACS.
The website’s many resources can keep Soldiers on track during major professional and personal events, such as Advanced Individual Training graduation, their first duty station, promotions, marriage, divorce, birth of a child or health issues.
“The Army’s Financial Frontline site is your go-to resource for managing money throughout your Army service,” said Dr. Cindy Morita, acting Financial Readiness Program Manager and Family Advocacy Program Specialist for the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness.
Along with linking to FRP services, Financial Frontline connects to Military OneSource and Army Emergency Relief. Soldiers with AER loans can participate in financial literacy training to receive credit on their existing loans, according to Morita. A loan will be credited if a Soldier:
- Watches all videos on debt, major purchases and spending plans.
- Takes a 25-question quiz.
- Scores 80 percent or above on the quiz.
- E4 and below can receive a credit of up to $500 on an existing loan.
- E5 and above can receive a credit of up to $250 on an existing loan.
The Financial Frontline website supports mandatory Financial Readiness Common Military Training requirements with downloadable certificates. There are also interactive tools, such as a self assessment, budgeting and PCS cost calculators, tax resources, GI Bill guidance and credit-protection information.
Visit the Financial Frontline website for resources to help you attain a high quality of life for you and your Family, both during your career and in retirement.
