Are you or your sponsor approaching retirement from active duty or the National Guard or Reserve? If so, it’s important to know your options for maintaining your TRICARE health coverage. On Thursday, May 23, from 4 to 5 p.m. ET, TRICARE is hosting a webinar called “TRICARE Options in Retirement” to guide you through the process of keeping your coverage when you retire.
To attend the webinar, simply join via Microsoft Teams Live a few minutes before start time. During the webinar, you’ll learn about the different TRICARE plans available to you in retirement, as well as your options for vision and dental coverage. TRICARE experts will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
According to Zelly Zim, a senior analyst with TRICARE Policy and Programs at the Defense Health Agency, knowing what to do to keep your TRICARE coverage when you retire is crucial. The webinar will provide step-by-step guidance on how to ensure that you don’t have a gap in health care coverage as you transition into retirement.
It’s worth noting that retiring from active duty and retiring from the National Guard or Reserve at age 60 are both qualifying life events (QLEs) that trigger a 90-day window during which you can make changes to your TRICARE health plan enrollment. This means that if you’re approaching retirement, now is the perfect time to review your options and make any necessary changes to ensure that you continue to receive the benefits and coverage that you need.
Don’t miss out on this valuable resource! Attend the “TRICARE Options in Retirement” webinar on May 23 and take the first step towards maintaining your health plan coverage in retirement.
