Abstract: The Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (FY11), Section 702, aligns TRICARE Program eligibility by providing a means to extend the age of eligibility of TRICARE dependents from age 21 or 23 up to age 26 to allow the purchase of extended dependent medical coverage across existing TRICARE program options (Standard, Extra, and Prime). This is consistent with the intent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the implementing Health and Human Services regulations, and the limitations of Chapter 55 of Title 10. Information gathered through this collection will be used by the regional managed care support contractors to process the applications to start, change, or terminate TRICARE Young Adult coverage.

Emergency Justfication: This emergency submission is necessary and appropriate to ensure that the Department avoids delays associated with implementing TRICARE Young Adult, a critical Congressionally mandated program to provide extended dependent medical coverage for adult age dependents. The law requires health care benefits to be effective January 1, 2011. Delaying the approval of data collection would delay the start of health care delivery and denial of prompt reimbursement for health care services rendered after January 1, 2011.
