The Knollwood Military Life Plan Community has revised its admissions criteria, and will now include high-level federal workers.

The Army Distaff Foundation Board of Directors voted in favor of revising the admissions criteria that would admit workers with a civil service grade of GS-14 or equivalent and above. 

Knollwood is currently open to military officers from all branches of the Uniformed Services and their families, and high-level civil servants in select government agencies. The new criteria allows high-level officials at the Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Justice and other agencies to be included as prospects.

“The Board of Directors believes it is important for Knollwood to be inclusive of those who have honorably served our nation, whether as a commissioned officer of the Uniformed Services, and now, senior federal civil servants with a civil service grade of GS-14 (or equivalent) and above, in select federal agencies,” said Gen. John M. Keane, USA (Ret.), Chairman of the Board of the Army Distaff Foundation.

Additionally, post September 11, 2001, service members with severe war-related injuries who receive Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) are now eligible.
