SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The interim final rule published in the

rules to implement the TRICARE Young Adult (TYA) program as required by 
Title 10, United States Code, Section 1110b. Included in this interim 
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 
2013 as shown below:
