When you are married to a service member, you are entitled to their military
health insurance benefits through Tricare. Once the marriage is over,
you will no longer be able to receive Tricare benefits, and your eligibility
will be terminated at 12:01 am on the day your divorce is finalized.
However, there are a few instances where you may be able to keep your Tricare
benefits after divorce. If you were married to your spouse for at least
20 years with 20 years of overlapping military service, you may qualify
to continue coverage. Spouses who were married for 20 years with at least
19 years of overlapping service may also be eligible for 1 additional
year of Tricare coverage.
