What this bill would do

The TRICARE Transition Transparency Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of Defense to notify beneficiaries about required changes in their TRICARE enrollment. This includes notifying individuals when they must make a different election to continue enrollment, such as when reaching a certain age. Notices must be sent electronically at specific intervals: one year, 180 days, and 30 days before the transition occurs. Additionally, the Secretary is required to conduct outreach via websites, social media, and family readiness groups. An annual report must also be submitted to congressional defense committees regarding these implementation efforts.
