CHAMPVA and Dependent

[KansasNavy]

Good Morning,  So now that I am P&T, I have a question about Health Insurance.  I am a retiree so I already have Tricare.  However,  I have a daughter who is not qualified for Tricare any longer.  She is 24.  Can she get Champva?  She is not on my VA award as a dependent.

 

Thanks

If she is not a student, no. 
 

Children are eligible for CHAMPVA until they turn age 18, or until age 23 if they are in school full-time, as long as they remain unmarried and, for step-children, living in the veteran's home.

You can not get CHAMPVA if you can get TRICARE.  And, I believe that would mean your dependents also.  

I would love to get CHAMPVA for my wife because I am 100% P&T, but she can not get it since I turned age 60 and became eligible for TRICARE.

FWIW,
