Dependents Under Tricare

[WAR MACHINE]

I am in the process of my mother a dependent, I just want to know if she will be covered under TriCare?

Can you better phrase that question? Typo there guy. Don't understand it entirely.

[Kilted Heathen]

You're mother is not your dependent and she is not covered by tri-care.

I am in the process of doing the paper work with my S1, upon submitting and approval of the paper will she be able to use TRICARE ?

It can be done. Go see the ID card folks to get the paperwork. You'll also have to submit a lot of stuff to DFAS, and it can take a long time (6months) to get everything hooked up properly.

Then she will be covered under Tri-care.

IF she is your dependent....go talk to your TriCare folks.

Its not easy but its doable..I had a troop who needed to bring his mom over and get her command sponsored. If you have a proactive chain of command and a good S1, you can get this done pretty quickly. I would def take an NCO down to the ID card section with you in order to just help navigate through all their bullshit. Plus its always good to have another set of ears to help you understand everything thats required.

Have you checked out www.militaryonesource.com

Im sure there is some info on there for you. I use that website all the time.

My ex mother in law was my dependent while I was active. I was able to get her covered under Tri-care. As said before, it is possible but takes time and paperwork.

I'm sure you aren't the first to bring this situation to S1. Good luck to you.

Good luck on getting this situation squared away with Tricare.
