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.
