CLEAR's Initiative to Support Military Families
CLEAR, an official TSA PreCheck enrollment provider, is stepping up to support military families by participating in the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) program called Serve with Honor, Travel with Ease. This initiative is designed to ease the travel process for those who sacrifice so much for our country. Specifically, CLEAR offers a discounted TSA PreCheck enrollment fee for military spouses and provides free enrollment for Gold Star families, those who have lost a service member in the line of duty.
Discounted and Free TSA PreCheck Enrollment
Military spouses of currently serving uniformed service members will receive a $25 discount on their TSA PreCheck enrollment. This initiative acknowledges the unique and frequent travel challenges these families often face due to the nature of military life. In a significant gesture, Gold Star families are awarded free enrollment, which stands as a tribute to their loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Supporting Military Families' Travel Needs
“At CLEAR, we believe in showing up for those who show up for all of us,” said Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR. She emphasized the company's commitment to facilitating smoother travel experiences for military families. Becker noted that military spouses often manage numerous relocations, and making travel easier for them is a way to acknowledge their service.
Mobile Enrollment Units
In addition to discounted enrollment fees, CLEAR is implementing mobile enrollment units stationed at key military installations. This effort is aimed at decreasing the travel demands for eligible families who often reside near military bases. By bringing enrollment services directly to them, CLEAR enhances accessibility and reduces any extra hurdles in the enrollment process.
Benefits of TSA PreCheck
Enrolling in TSA PreCheck brings a host of benefits that simplify the travel experience. Members enjoy the convenience of keeping shoes, belts, and light jackets on as they pass through airport security checkpoints. Moreover, they can keep their laptops and compliant liquid containers within their carry-on bags, drastically reducing the time spent in lines.
Easily Accessing TSA PreCheck
New applicants for TSA PreCheck can easily pre-enroll by visiting CLEAR’s official TSA PreCheck site. Existing members are also able to renew their enrollment online, providing a seamless experience regardless of their original enrollment provider. It’s essential for members to stay updated on their status to fully utilize the benefits.
Free TSA PreCheck for DOD Personnel
Alongside military families, uniformed service members and Department of Defense personnel are still qualified for free TSA PreCheck screenings. They merely need to use their Department of Defense ID as their Known Traveler Number. This distinct benefit underscores the ongoing support for those serving in the military.
