AI Summary
- Veterans with service-connected disabilities in VA enrollment priority groups 1, 2, or 3 would become eligible to enroll in TRICARE Select during annual open enrollment periods
- Veterans who enroll in TRICARE cannot simultaneously receive VA healthcare benefits; enrollment in one system requires disenrollment from the other
- Dependents of eligible veterans cannot enroll in TRICARE solely based on the veteran's enrollment under this program
- The VA must reimburse the Department of Defense for costs of enrolling these veterans in TRICARE through a memorandum of understanding between the two departments
- Implementation occurs in phases: amendments take effect one year after enactment, followed by one year for regulations, then one year for phased enrollment, with quarterly reports required for two years
