When dependents age out of TRICARE at 21 or 23, depending on their college enrollment status, they may qualify for the TRICARE Young Adult (TYA) program. TYA allows them to purchase premium-based health coverage, ensuring continued access to healthcare services. This program is designed to provide young adults with a seamless transition from TRICARE benefits, maintaining their healthcare coverage as they enter adulthood. Eligibility requires them to be unmarried and not eligible for employer-sponsored health insurance.
