Plain-English Summary

The proposal would allow military spouses and dependents to enroll in TRICARE Select (the military's health insurance plan) when they become pregnant, treating pregnancy as a major life event that qualifies someone for coverage. Currently, people can only sign up for TRICARE Select during limited enrollment periods or after certain qualifying events like marriage or birth, so this would give pregnant women earlier access to military health benefits. The Defense Department would test this approach through a pilot program to see if it works before potentially expanding it more widely.
