Bill > HB4712

This bill establishes a Tricare premium reimbursement program through the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to help eligible Michigan National Guard members offset their healthcare and dental insurance costs. The program allows National Guard members to apply for grants to reimburse premiums paid for individual coverage under the Tricare reserve select program (a voluntary health insurance plan) and/or the Tricare dental program, provided they are not on active duty and are not already covered by other health insurance through an employer or private market plan. To receive reimbursement, eligible recipients must submit an application to the department using a form that will be made available on the department's website, with specific requirements to be determined by the department. The bill also requires the department to create administrative rules to implement the program in accordance with existing state administrative procedures. By offering these premium reimbursements, the bill aims to provide financial support to National Guard members for maintaining their health and dental insurance coverage.
