Respondents are individuals who are 

or were beneficiaries of the Military 

Health System (MHS) and who desire to 

enroll in the CHCBP following their loss 

of eligibility or entitlement to health 

care coverage in the MHS. These 

beneficiaries include any person 

formerly eligible for care from the MHS 

according to Chapter 55 or Section 

1145a of Title 10, United States Code. In 

order to be eligible for health care 

coverage under CHCBP, an individual 

must first enroll in CHCBP. DD Form

collection vehicle for that enrollment. 

The CHCBP is a legislatively mandated 

program and it is anticipated that the 

program will continue indefinitely. As 

such, the DoD is publishing this formal 

notice.
