“Since May 2025, over 11,000 candidates have created profiles”

UNCONFIRMEDSaid in 2 broadcasts
What the record shows
No independent DoD or Army dataset publishes military spouse employment portal enrollment figures. MSEP has assisted 250,000 spouses cumulatively since 2011, but no official source confirms 11,000 new profiles since May 2025.

Claim traces only to the speaker's statement. No DoD press release, GAO audit, or published enrollment dataset independently verifies the 11,000-profile figure.
