UPDATE-ID CARD RENEWAL
Older Spouses, Survivors get Permanent ID
cards starting in 2005 As a part of the Defense Authorization Act, Congress
adopted MOAA'S suggestion to ease the burden of ID card renewal for older
spouses and survivors age 75 and older and will be able to obtain permanent ID
cards.
Renewal for spouse is due every four years. Even where walk-ins
are accepted, you should call before going to be sure that there have not been
any changes. Call during the days and hours listed before to be sure that you
can get connected. At bases where appointments are required, call early as
there is usually a backlog. You are allowed to renew your ID card within 90
days of expiration date. Remember, a valid, current ID card is required to
obtain TRICARE FOR LIFE OR OTHER TRICARE SERVICES.
