Defense officials expect to make a decision on expanding military exchange online shopping benefits to all honorably discharged veterans by mid-December, according to a source familiar with discussions.
If that happens, officials could notify Congress of the decision and, if there aren't objections within 30 days, it could be final before the new administration takes over in January. That also could put exchange officials on track to launch the benefit, if approved, by Veterans Day 2017.
Defense officials declined to comment on a timeline or to provide information on who would make the final decision within Defense Department.
