Who is eligible for TRICARE Reserve Select coverage?

Members of the Selected Reserve and their families are eligible for TRICARE Reserve Select coverage. This program is specifically designed to offer health care coverage to reservists who are not on active duty but remain part of the Selected Reserve. It is a premium-based plan, meaning that members can purchase this coverage for themselves and their eligible family members during times when they are not activated.

The eligibility criteria effectively support members of the Selected Reserve by ensuring they have access to affordable health care when they are not activated for service. This is significant because it helps maintain the health and readiness of the reserve component, allowing members to access necessary medical services while balancing their civilian lives.

The other options do not align with the eligibility requirements for TRICARE Reserve Select, which is focused specifically on the Selected Reserve rather than active duty personnel, veterans, or retired military members.
