## Summary

**Expands TRICARE Young Adult eligibility and eliminates the separate young adult premium.** This bill would widen who can enroll as a TRICARE Young Adult and fold that coverage into a single premium framework, and it updates cross-references in existing law to match those changes. - Military families and young adult dependents: More young adult dependents could qualify for TRICARE Young Adult coverage, letting more families keep health benefits for older children. - Costs for dependents: Young adult dependents would no longer pay a distinct TRICARE Young Adult premium; their coverage would be included in the general premium structure. - Legal and administrative alignment: A conforming amendment removes section 1110b from a cross-reference in section 1075 so statutory citations reflect the new eligibility and premium setup.
