I know what my benefits are as a retiree/disabled service member. The question is, if I get married NOW, is my spouse covered by tri-care?

My understanding is that once you enroll your spouse into the DEERS program (get them an ID card) they are enrolled.

When you enroll her in DEERS, you should also enroll her in Tricare and do the allotment form to pay for your and her insurance. It only takes a few minutes at a retirement service office if you're near one.
