Military Reconnect Partnership

Since 2012, MMI has collaborated with a variety of financial institutions and Veterans Service Organizations to solve the critical financial issues facing military service members and their families. Whether active-duty, transitioning, retired, or a surviving family member, there are a myriad of unique circumstances that come with military service.

For those in the military, it can be difficult to "reconnect" after a career in the armed forces. Transition to civilian life comes with a new set of responsibilities, norms, and routines. Active-duty benefits may no longer be available, while relocations and spousal employment can create additional complications. As a result, veterans often combat financial battles during and after transition.

According to a survey by the Military Family Advisory Network, a staggering number - 92.5% - reported they have debt, while 44% reported financial stress is detrimental to their emotional and mental health.

At MMI, we understand these challenges firsthand and are dedicated to helping service members and their families reconnect to the life of financial stability they deserve. Specifically designed for active-duty military, veterans, and their families, Military Reconnect from MMI provides free in-person outreach, online learning communities, and counseling resources to help service members achieve their financial goals.
