In most cases, while in the Selected Reserve, a Reservist is eligible for TRICARE Reserve Select. Once a Reservist transfers from the Ready Reserve (Troop Program Unit\/Selected Reserve) to the Retired Reserve, he or she qualifies for TRICARE Retired Reserve.<\/p>\n
Based on the TRICARE website, this is available globally, is premium-based, and is open to eligible Retired Reserve members under 60. If the member is enrolled in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program, he wouldn’t be able to enroll in TRICARE Retired Reserve. Family members are also eligible to enroll.<\/p>\n
It’s also available to survivors based on specific conditions, from TRICARE:<\/span><\/p>\n * The sponsor was covered by TRICARE Retired Reserve when he or she died.<\/p>\n * They are immediate family members of the deceased sponsor (spouses cannot have remarried).<\/p>\n *TRICARE Retired Reserve coverage would begin before the date the deceased sponsor would have turned 60 years old.<\/p>\n * Survivor coverage is not affected by FEHB eligibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This benefit is available until the member turns 60. If you’re in the Retired Reserve and in this category or know someone who is, TRICARE<\/a> has details on qualification and application for this benefit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
