My husband has VA Benefits and receives regular care from the wonderful physicans in Gainesville, Florida and we wondered if I would be eligible for Tricare ...any level...since I am his spouse???

I am currently on Medicare due to disability and now wonder if I wouldn't qualify for Tricare since he's a veteran???

no. Only retirees can get Tricare benfits for spouses and dependents. and then only if they meet the criteria.

Since he is eligible for care through the VA, you would not be able to get Tricare. However, check with the VA.
