HR 4768 would remove two restrictions from TRICARE Young Adult, the program that covers military family members up to age 26. First, it would eliminate the rule that bars enrollment when a young adult has access to employer-sponsored health insurance. Second, it would remove the separate monthly premium that young adults currently pay out of pocket to participate in the plan.
The bill affects service members and veterans who have adult children between roughly 21 and 26 years old. Those young adult dependents would be directly affected by both the eligibility change and the elimination of their out-of-pocket premium.
Under current law, young adults must choose between employer-offered insurance and TRICARE Young Adult, and must pay a separate monthly premium for TRICARE coverage. Removing these requirements would change the conditions under which military families access and pay for health coverage for adult dependents.
