AI Summary
This bill, the Veterans' True Choice Act of 2020, amends Title 10 of the United States Code to provide eligibility for TRICARE Select, a healthcare program for members of the uniformed services, to veterans with service-connected disabilities. It defines a "covered veteran beneficiary" as a veteran eligible to enroll in the VA healthcare system, and allows them to enroll in TRICARE Select during the annual open enrollment period, with cost-sharing requirements calculated based on their date of original enlistment or appointment. The bill also requires the VA and Department of Defense to enter into a memorandum of understanding for the VA to reimburse the DoD for the costs of enrolling these veterans in TRICARE. The amendments will be phased in over a one-year period after the bill's enactment, with regulations to be prescribed during that time.
