Why does the enrollment form ask if the sponsor intends to remain in the service for 12 months?
The TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) requires that the sponsor and/or family members remain enrolled for a minimum of 12 months. Therefore, the sponsor must have at least 12 months remaining on his or her service commitment. If the sponsor does not have 12 months remaining on the current service commitment, enrollment can only be processed if the member indicates his or her intent to remain in the service after the end of the current service commitment. This 12-month period may be a combination of active duty and reserve status.
