The Military Spouse Employment Act, co-sponsored by Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, would allow Military spouse s to build a remote work career through federal agencies while they move with their spouse s. The bill, which unanimously passed in the Senate but has not yet been considered by the House, would simplify the federal remote work application process for military spouses where such accommodations are feasible. This streamlined application process already exists for in-person federal jobs but not for remote ones.
