Marriage
Spouses of service members are eligible for TRICARE. Once you are married, bring your new spouse to a military identification (ID) card office to register him or her in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). You will need a copy of your marriage certificate.
DEERS registration is very important. If your spouse is not registered in DEERS, he or she will not be eligible for TRICARE.
In the following scenarios, getting married will cause TRICARE benefits to end:
- Surviving (widowed) spouse remarries
- Former spouse remarries
- Adult child enrolled in TRICARE Young Adult gets married
