Short Statement:
The collection of applications has increased due to Congressional actions authorizing Purple Heart recipients, disabled and honorably discharged veterans, and Commissary and MWR customers to utilize the Exchange and apply for a MILITARY STAR® credit card. However, due to continued concerns over the conditions resulting from the COVID pandemic, manual applications and those applied for at point-of-sale locations have decreased. Additionally, the estimated response time for the CRC 7429395 Military Star Card Paper Application was revised from 6 minutes to 2 minutes based on consultation with the custodian.
