When you are activated, family members already enrolled in the TDP pay reduced premiums. Those not enrolled may enroll at that time.

Pre-Activation Benefit |
|
If you are issued “delayed-effective-date” active duty orders for more than 30 days in support of a contingency operation, you and your family may become eligible for the TRICARE pre-activation benefit, beginning on the date your orders were issued or 90 days before you report to active duty, whichever is later. If your orders are cancelled before you report for active duty, TRICARE coverage ends for you and your family on the date the orders are cancelled. |
