The TRICARE Coverage Extension Act
Week of April 05, 2010
Many beneficiaries with dependent children are asking if the Health Care Reform Act (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) will extend coverage for their adult children up to age 26. TRICARE's official answer is no. "The current age limits -- 21 or age 23, if the dependent is in a full-time school program -- are set by statute." In response Representative Martin Heinrich (N.M.) introduced "The TRICARE Dependent Coverage Extension Act" (H.R. 4923 (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.4923:)), a bill that would extend TRICARE coverage for dependent children to the maximum age of 26.
