Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS)
You must be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to be eligible for TRICARE.
DEERS is a worldwide, computerized database of uniformed services members (sponsors), their family members, and others who are eligible for military benefits, including TRICARE. All sponsors are automatically registered in DEERS. However, the sponsor must register eligible family members. Family members can update personal information such as addresses and phone numbers once they are registered in DEERS.
