This bill would change rules for the TRICARE Young Adult program in title 10 of the U.S. Code. It modifies section 1110b by removing one numbered paragraph and renumbering others to expand eligibility. It also removes the provision that required a separate premium for a young adult by striking subsection (c) and changing language in subsection (a). Finally, it makes a technical change to section 1075(c)(3) to remove a cross-reference to section 1110b.
If you are a dependent young adult covered or potentially covered by TRICARE, the bill is written to expand who is eligible and to stop treating a young adult’s coverage as needing a separate premium. The bill text removes specific numbered text from section 1110b, but the bill as provided does not list the exact populations added or removed by that change.
