Bill > HR364

This resolution urges the United States Congress to expand TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) eligibility to include members of military reserve components who are enrolled or eligible to enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The resolution highlights that TRICARE is a comprehensive federal health care program for active duty service members, National Guard members, reserve members, and their families, providing coverage for health, dental, vision, mental health, and prescription services. Currently, federal employees serving in the National Guard or Armed Forces reserve components are prohibited from enrolling in TRS, which the resolution argues undermines TRS as a recruitment tool and penalizes reservists working in civilian federal roles by creating a financial disincentive to government employment. By calling on Congress to modify TRS eligibility, the resolution seeks to address what it perceives as an unfair restriction that impacts reservists' healthcare options. The resolution also includes a provision to transmit a copy of the resolution to congressional leadership and Pennsylvania's congressional representatives.
