Transitional Assistance Management Program

The Transitional Assistance Management Program
(TAMP) provides 180 days of transitional health care benefits
to uniformed services members and their families, if the
sponsor is:
• Involuntarily separating from active duty under honorable
conditions
• A National Guard or Reserve member separating from active
duty for a period of more than 30 consecutive days in support
of a contingency operation
• Separating from active duty following involuntary retention
(stop-loss) in support of a contingency operation
• Separating from active duty following a voluntary agreement
to stay on active duty for less than one year in support of a
contingency operation
For those who qualify, the 180-day TAMP period begins upon
the active duty sponsor’s separation. During TAMP, sponsors
and family members are eligible to enroll in TRICARE Prime,
TRICARE Prime Overseas or use TRICARE Standard and
Extra or TRICARE Standard Overseas.
