# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:*                     TRICARE Young Adult Application; DD Form 2947; OMB Control Number 0720-0049.                

*Type of Request:*                     Reinstatement.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     7,164.                

*Responses per Respondent:*                     1.

*Annual Burden Hours:*                     1,791.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, section 702, aligns TRICARE Program eligibility by providing a means to extend the age of eligibility of TRICARE dependents from age 21 or 23 up to age 26 to allow the purchase of extended dependent medical coverage across existing TRICARE program options (Select and Prime). This is consistent with the intent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the implementing Health and Human Services regulations, and the limitations of chapter 55 of title 10. Section 702 allows qualified adult children not eligible for medical coverage at age 21 (23 if enrolled in a full-time course of study at an institution of higher learning approved by the Secretary of Defense) and under age 26 to qualify to purchase medical coverage unless the dependent is enrolled in or eligible to purchase employer sponsored insurance per section 5000A(f)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or is married. The dependents shall be able to purchase either the TRICARE Prime or Select benefits depending on if they meet specific program requirements and the availability of a desired plan in their geographic location.                

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households.                

*Frequency:*                     As required.                

*Respondent's Obligation:*                     Voluntary.                

*DoD Clearance Officer:*                     Mr. Reginald Lucas.
