How much you pay for Medicare (which have to take to keep Tricare) can vary. If you're a retired military member, it is more likely to vary than it is for many civilians.
Those who serve in the military have some insurance options not available to civilians. That doesn't mean your premiums can't go up.
Even though, as an active or former military member, you have options in the insurance market that others don't have, you could still get hit with a big premium increase.
If you're a retired Senior Military Officer or NCO and work for the Federal Government, you have a lot of choices when it comes to your health insurance. Here are some ideas to get you started.
If you're a military retiree, you're covered by TRICARE. Once you turn 65 you could potentially lose that coverage if you don't take action.
Being dropped from your home insurance is stressful, but there are ways to ensure you don’t have a lapse in coverage and that you get all your questions answered. Learn more here.
It's easy to forget about your home insurance, especially after you've retired from the military and you're not moving every 3 years or so. But like most everything in your financial life, you should review it periodically.
Up to and even entering military retirement, you haven't had to do much to keep your Tricare coverage. That changes when you turn 65 and if you're not careful you could lose all your medical insurance.
