Education Savings Accounts for Military Families Act of 2025

# Education Savings Accounts for Military Families Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would create Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) specifically for military families, allowing them to set aside tax-advantaged funds to pay for educational expenses. Under an ESA, families would receive a sum of money (typically tied to per-pupil education funding) that they could use flexibly for various education-related costs—such as private school tuition, tutoring, homeschooling materials, or special education services. The funds would grow tax-free and could be invested, similar to other education savings accounts. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill targets active-duty military families, military retirees, and their dependents.

It would give these families more educational choices beyond traditional public schools, particularly useful for military families who frequently relocate. The legislation is still in the committee stage, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee with no action taken. It was introduced by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) but has not advanced further in the legislative process.
