After submitting a NOD, I received notification today that my benefits were changed to P&T with Champva and Chapter 35 entitlements.
Everything I read states if your dependents are Tricare eligible, the don't qualify for Champva.
I'm scheduled to retire from the Reserves this spring (regular retirement). Ultimately that makes me eligible for Tricare Retired Reserve at $1013.36 per month until age 60. I've had SSDI for the last 18 months. I understand that I'll be automatically enrolled in Medicare part A & B at the 24 month mark. Medicare part B will automatically enroll me into Tricare for Life (service member only from my understanding).
Will my dependents qualify for Champva or will that benefit be lost because I have the option of paying for Tricare Retired Reserve? Can I even have two versions of Tricare at the same time? ( Tricare Retired Reserve and Tricare for Life)
