Glossary

Guide to the Military’s Blended Retirement System was developed in collaboration with and funded by the Defense Credit Union Council, a non-profit, niche trade association supporting credit unions operating on military installations worldwide.

As a chartered member of the Department of Defense Financial Readiness Campaign, the DCUC maintains a close and constant liaison with the DoD, coordinating on matters impacting financial quality of life, financial capability, and financial products and services, including financial education offered by on-base credit unions to military and DoD civilian personnel and their families.

DCUC is the primary spokesperson at DoD for federal and state chartered credit unions operating on base, functioning in this capacity and serving in this role since 1963.
