SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: TRICARE Young Adult
Application; DD Form 2947; OMB Control Number 0720-0049.
Needs and Uses: The Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2011, Section 702, aligns TRICARE Program eligibility
by providing a means to extend the age of eligibility of TRICARE
dependents from age 21 or 23 up to age 26 to allow the purchase of
extended dependent medical coverage across existing TRICARE program
options (Select and Prime). This is consistent with the intent of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the implementing Health and
Human Services regulations, and the limitations of Chapter 55 of Title
10. Section 702 allows qualified adult children not eligible for
medical coverage at age 21 (23 if enrolled in a full-time course of
study at an institution of higher learning approved by the Secretary of
Defense) and are under age 26 to qualify to purchase medical coverage
unless the dependent is enrolled in or eligible to purchase employer
sponsored insurance per section 5000A(f)(2) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 or is married. The dependents shall be able to purchase
either the TRICARE Prime or Select benefits depending on if they meet
specific program requirements and the availability of a desired plan in
their geographic location.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 677.
Number of Respondents: 2,709.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 2,709.

Dated: July 31, 2024.
