TAMP 180 days — one page
- 180 days of TRICARE with no premium — if DEERS shows TAMP. Confirm in milConnect.
- Day 181 needs a next plan: TRS, TRR, VA health, or civilian.
- BDD is a different clock: file 180–90 days before ETS.
- VGLI’s 240-day conversion clock did not pause for a premium holiday. Recut 21 Sep 2026: holiday is Nov. 1, 2026–Jan. 31, 2027 for policies already current.
- Your personnel shop documents TAMP. I do not.
