*Needs and Uses:*                     When a claim for TRICARE benefits is identified as involving possible third party liability and the information is not submitted with the claim, the TRICARE contractors request that the injured party (or a designee) complete DD Form 2527. To protect the interests of the U.S. Government, the contractor suspends claims processing until the requested third party liability information is received. The contractor conducts a preliminary evaluation based upon the collection of information and refers the case to a designated appropriate legal officer of the Uniformed Services. The responsible Uniformed Services legal officer uses the information as a basis for asserting and settling the U.S. Government's claim. When appropriate, the information is forwarded to the Department of Justice as the basis for litigation.                 

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households.
