Are you or your sponsor preparing to retire from active duty or the National Guard or Reserve? Learn how to keep or change your TRICARE health plan with TRICARE’s upcoming webinar.
On Thursday, May 23, from 4 to 5 p.m. ET, TRICARE will host a webinar called “TRICARE Options in Retirement.” This webinar will guide you through the steps you need to take to maintain your TRICARE coverage after retirement. To attend, join via Microsoft Teams Live just a few minutes before the start time.
According to Zelly Zim, a senior analyst with TRICARE Policy and Programs at the Defense Health Agency, it’s crucial to know what to do when retiring from active duty or the National Guard or Reserve. This webinar will help ensure that there are no gaps in your health care coverage during this transition period.
During this webinar, you’ll learn about your dental and vision coverage options in retirement as well as the new health plan options available. TRICARE experts will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
As outlined in both the TRICARE Retiring from Active Duty Brochure and the TRICARE Retiring from the National Guard or Reserve Brochure, retiring from active duty and retiring from the National Guard or Reserve at age 60 are both considered Qualifying Life Events (QLEs). When you have a QLE, you have 90 days to make changes to your TRICARE health plan enrollment.
By attending this webinar on May 23, you’ll be able to go into retirement knowing all of your health plan options and how they work. It’s an excellent resource for ensuring that you can maintain your benefits for years to come.
