IVF for Military Families Act

# IVF for Military Families Act (HR 2557) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The IVF for Military Families Act would expand fertility treatment coverage for active-duty military members and their families. Specifically, the bill aims to ensure that in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive services are covered under TRICARE, the military's health insurance system. Currently, TRICARE coverage for fertility treatments is limited, and this bill would make these services more accessible and affordable for military families. **Who It Affects:** This bill directly affects active-duty service members, military retirees, and their families who are enrolled in TRICARE.

It also indirectly affects the Department of Defense, which administers TRICARE and would need to implement expanded coverage policies. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced by Representative Sara Jacobs (D-California) in the 119th Congress. For a bill to become law, it must pass through committee review, receive a floor vote in the House, pass the Senate, and be signed by the President.
