    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.

    Needs and Uses: DD Form 2896-1 is used by certain Reserve Component 
members and retired members to purchase or make changes to coverage 
under the TRICARE Reserve Select and TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR) 
health plan. Eligible beneficiaries must complete this form using the 
online Beneficiary Web Enrollment (BWE) portal. Each respondent 
(eligible Reserve Component members and retired members) is required to 
use the BWE portal to enroll, disenroll or change their enrollment. The 
information collected ensures a beneficiary is eligible for TRICARE and

TRICARE plan of choice, address, etc. If the beneficiary does use the 
form or BWE portal to enroll in a TRICARE plan option, the TRICARE 
beneficiary is defaulted into direct care only, limiting their health 
care options to only military hospitals and clinics.
