If my child gets married, is he or she still TRICARE-eligible?
No. Your child must report the marriage to DMDC/DEERS Support Office as soon as possible. If your child doesn't report it in a timely manner and continues to get care, TRICARE will recoup on all claims paid during periods of ineligibility.
If the marriage ends (for example, by divorce or death), while your child is under age 21 or 23 as a full-time student, your child may get back his or her TRICARE-eligibility.
For eligibility questions, call the DMDC/DEERS Support Office.
Note: This also applies to young adults covered by TRICARE Young Adult.
