Government Shutdown: Some Allotment Payments Affected
The partial government shutdown affects allotments used by some TRICARE patients to pay enrollment fees and dental premiums. TRICARE is not able to process payments made through the U.S. Coast Guard pay center. However, patients will not be disenrolled for nonpayment, and TRICARE will continue to process claims during the shutdown. Beneficiaries do not need to take action at this time. For details, see Government Shutdown: Some Allotment Payments Affected (TRICARE Benefits Update, 1/14/19).
