New Military ID CARD Requirement
The following information was originally developed by our own Jim Daniels.  At a MEDAC Meeting I asked CAPT Gray, Commanding Officer Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, if he would sort through Jim’s research and the various contrary responses we have received on this subject.  He responded with definitive information that confirms and embellished Jim Daniels research.  The following is the information that you all should have.  It will be published in the next HRCMOAA Newsletter.
  • New ID Card’s will be required by 31 December 2025.  However, it is highly recommended that retirees get the new cards as soon as possible, especially if their social security number is on their card.
  • Using the old ID Card will not affect the ability to fill prescriptions.
  • You must be 65 to get the INDEF ID card.
  • The website to make an appointment is: https://idco.dmdc.osd.mil/idco/ 
    • This will connect to NAS Oceana, NAB Little Creek, Fort Story, NS Norfolk and all Hampton Roads area ID Card offices. 
  • To get an ID Card without going to the ID Card office, you will be required to create a DS Logon.
    • Previous ID card photo will be used.

PS by Webmaster:
New military ID cards also function as a Real ID at airport TSA checkpoints.  This has been tested at two major airports in March 2025.


REAL ID DEADLINE
The deadline for getting a REAL ID is May 7 (although the TSA has announced that enforcement may be phased in). As of that date, every air traveler who is at least 18 years old will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card or another TSA-acceptable form of identification for domestic air travel and to enter certain federal facilities. 

Other TSA-acceptable documents are active passports, passport cards or Global Entry cards. Standard drivers licenses will no longer be valid ID for TSA purposes, but enhanced drivers licenses from certain states are acceptable alternatives. 

Travelers who don't have a REAL ID by the deadline could face delays at airport security checkpoints. 

Visit the TSA website at tsa.gov for updates and information.

MOAA has published an article on their website about the TRICARE for Life Enrollment Fees, Cost Shares Part of New Budget Report.

By: Karen Ruedisueli, Jan 15, 2025

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has once again targeted TRICARE For Life (TFL) in its biennial report outlining options for reducing the deficit.

The December 2024 report highlights savings that could be achieved by introducing a TFL enrollment fee or minimum out-of-pocket cost requirements. Similar concepts have been presented in past CBO reports, which are issued every two years to provide information to lawmakers confronting budgetary challenges.

Last year, nearly 200 MOAA members and staff took this issue to Capitol Hill as part of our Advocacy in Action campaign, ensuring elected officials understand the intense opposition to TFL fees. Retirees already have fulfilled all the requirements to earn their health care benefit, and MOAA will fight any attempts to cut it, including fee increases designed to shift costs from DoD to seniors who rely on TFL.

Click on the December 2024 Report above and scroll down to pages 17 and 18 where you can read about the enrollment fees.
