The Incapacitated Adult Child Program Portal provides a centralized way for service members and retirees to submit initial applications to establish secondary dependency for an incapacitated adult child. The portal supports sponsors across the uniformed services and provides a streamlined process for submitting and managing applications.
An incapacitated adult child may qualify as a secondary dependent if they are unmarried, over age 21 and incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical incapacity that occurred while they were considered a dependent of their sponsor. Certain children of deceased sponsors may also qualify.
