TAMP FOR DWH?
A question has been raised whether Reservists recalled for 60 days under Title 14 for the Deepwater Horizon incident (or any other T14 recall) eligible for Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP) benefits? TAMP is a follow-on medical coverage program under TRICARE for elgible demobilized Reservists. For more on TAMP visit http://www.tricare.mil/tricaresmartfiles/Prod_272/TAMP_BR_Rev2_Lo_Res.pdf
No. Active duty under Title 14 U.S.C. 712 does not qualify as contingency orders for any post-active duty benefit purposes including TAMP.
