Commissary "Agent" Shopping
Recent activities have brought
to the forefront the issue of having someone shop for eligible commissary
patrons. It doesn't just apply to children with a deployed parent, but
to other authorized patrons who may have difficulty shopping on their
own.
Known as the agent privilege, it's for any authorized commissary shopper
who needs assistance shopping or who cannot shop on his or her own behalf
because of disability, illness or infirmity. That privilege also extends
to grandparents, guardians or caregivers of children of service members
who may not be available due to deployment or remote assignment.
The agent does not have to be an authorized commissary shopper. The military
member may request an agent pass for approval to allow the individual
who is the primary caregiver for the children of deployed parents to enter
the installation. The installation commander authorizes agent privilege.
Non-military primary caregivers should contact the identification card
section on the installation to determine what legal document, i.e., power
of attorney, may also be needed to establish proof of caregiver status.
At the same time, the individual can also ask what documents are required
to enter the installation.
Upon verification of caregiver status, the individual receives written
authorization from the commander's representative designating him/her
as an "agent" to accompany the children. Usually, the letter
is for a 12-month period, but it can be extended in cases of continued
hardship.
Authorized shoppers, who are elderly or disabled, and unfamiliar with
the "agent" privilege, should contact the identification card
section on the installation to determine what proff is needed to have
an agent shop in the commissary on their behalf.
