I dont know how old your kids are, but try here for your best answer:

After reading some of the link above, yes, it appears like your kids should get id cards, but check the details for your situation.

I'm curious about the children of a deceased 100% veteran's ID card.  Does that allow for the child, who is no longer supported by the veteran, to get a card?  Or does that cease when the child reaches 18yo or 26yo, since technically, they are no longer dependent on the veteran?  thx

As far as children's ID card, IDK.  You can look here for yourself.  https://www.va.gov/family-member-benefits/#benefits-for-spouses-dependent. 

It may or may not be in there.  Some times stuff like this is "base policy" and can vary base to base.  The peron in charge of the miitary base decides who is let on base, and when, and these id cards are mostly for that..to buy stuff on post.  But it may be useful for other things, too.

Thanks, bronco.  I couldn't find out anything about whether they "age" out, but I would think that they probably do.

As far as I know the best place to try to get information about an ID Card would be D.E.E.R.S. Overlook all the Tricare and try to follow the ID Cards information.
