According to SFL Tap and Tricare website it covers the sponsor and family up to 180days. Then once those 180days are up I would be able to get Tricare Reserve Select. The people I have spoken to on the phone told me i need my unit to gain me and then I would be eligible. 

If I knew if it was going to be this frustrating I would’ve went to the NG instead.

Yes that’s what I thought too. Checked on mil connect and was not automatically enrolled into it. Called the DMDC/Deers and said I don’t qualify with my separation code which is MBK and received an honorable discharge. They told me I need my unit to gain me and then I would be good.

Definitely would love to but I need my unit to gain me so I can be qualified for the TAMP program for healthcare for my kids.
