A new military ID card with "Indefinite" in the expiration box will be required to ensure that DEERS is updated. TRICARE will NOT pay for any care you or family members receive if you are not correctly enrolled in DEERS.įinally, at age 65 all military retirees, whether from the Active Duty, Guard or Reserve, are eligible to use Medicare as their primary healthcare and TRICARE for Life (TFL) as their secondary. If your spouse reaches age 65 before you do, their records will need to be updated as well.
Failure to do so may lead to medical billing confusion. If you were covered by civilian health insurance programs provided by your civilian employer while you were in the Gray Area but cancelled them when you became eligible for retirement in anticipation of using TRICARE, ensure that TRICARE is now listed as your primary health care provider in DEERS.

AMRA has had reports that some ID card office personnel are not familiar with this card and only know it by its color. The "retired reserve" card for Gray Area retirees will be red/dark pink in color. This is the only place where they have your address! You may not be eligible to purchase TRICARE Retired Reserve health plan (premium based) or TRICARE Young Adult healthcare if you are not enrolled in DEERS. This is not only incorrect, but if DEERS doesn't have their information in their system, it may run afoul when it comes time to apply for your retirement.
They may not worry about it because they incorrectly believe they have no benefits until age 60. In some cases, individuals, for various reasons, have missed their out-processing or transition assistance program appointments and not obtained this card. When you complete your "good" twenty years (or longer) for retirement, part of your out-processing MUST be obtaining a NEW military ID card reflecting your new status. During this period, they have exchange, commissary, MWR privileges, and more. This is the time between a Guardsman/Reservist completing their "good" years required to receive a pension and the date when they may actually collect their pension and use TRICARE healthcare.
