A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to expand TRICARE Reserve Select eligibility to include members of reserve components of the Armed Forces of the United States who are enrolled or eligible to enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
This Pennsylvania House resolution asks the U.S. Congress to change federal rules so that military reservists who are also eligible for federal employee health insurance can join the TRICARE Reserve Select program. Currently, federal employees serving in the National Guard or armed forces reserves are barred from enrolling in this specific health coverage, which the bill argues creates a financial disincentive for them to work for the government. The measure does not alter any laws directly but serves as a formal recommendation to lawmakers to address this eligibility gap.
