SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule published in the Federal

implement the TRICARE Young Adult (TYA) program as required by 10 
U.S.C. 1110b. Included in the final rule were provisions for updating 
the TYA premiums for each CY. By law, qualified young adult dependents 
are charged TYA premiums that represent the full government cost of 
providing such coverage. Until premiums can be based on actual current 
year TYA costs, TYA premiums are based on the actual costs during 
preceding CYs for providing benefits to a similarly aged group of 
dependents that are TRICARE eligible.
    TRICARE Management Activity has updated the monthly premiums for CY 
2014 as shown below:
