Effective May 1, 2011, the TRICARE Supplement Plan will provide supplemental coverage for
dependents enrolled in TYA.

These young adult dependents will have the same supplement plan premium rates, benefits and
coverage limitations as dependent children under the age of 21 or 23 if a full-time student. |
To enroll your adult dependent child in the TRICARE Supplement Plan, complete the
enrollment form and mail to us along with a copy of his/her TYA enrollment card.
|
Your adult dependent child must enroll in TRICARE Young Adult before enrolling
in the TRICARE Supplement Plan. |
