TRICARE Helps Transition

Week of January 30, 2012

When servicemembers leave active duty, TRICARE offers a transitional health care option for eligible beneficiaries and their families while they look for new health coverage. The Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP) is designed to extend TRICARE eligibility for sponsors and their family who involuntarily separate from the military prior to retirement. The 180-day TAMP period begins the day after the date of separation from active duty.
