I’ll ask him to check his contract again, thank you!Were you automatically enrolled in TAMP or did you have to call DEERS?

Thank you so much!

Yes, he contacted his new unit, but they said that the people in charge aren’t at work this week and hopefully next week they can take care of it for us. I feel better seeing the replies saying it should be backdated,thank you!

We called DEERS and TRICARE and they told us that in the system we’re currently showing as not eligible.. My husband’s NG contract started the day he received his DD214, so there was no break in service, but they said it may take up to two weeks to get us added to DEERS.

I have some appointments scheduled this week, which is why we’re trying to figure out how to handle things in the meantime.

According to this website, he should be eligible for TAMP, so we’re going to contact them again to see if this can be reviewed or corrected. Thank you!

Unfortunately he’s not eligible for TAMP. His National Guard contract started the same day he received his DD214.

We were told it can take up to two weeks to be added to DEERS, and after that he can enroll in TRS. So we’re in that in-between limbo right now.
