Yes. If you are activated for 31 days or more, your family’s monthly premiums will be reduced since the Department of Defense pays 60% of monthly premiums for active duty family members. National Guard & Reserve family members whose sponsors are activated for 31 days or more are considered active duty family members, and therefore receive the reduced premium rate.
Premiums for active duty family members are paid via military allotment from the sponsor’s pay and will be reflected on the Leave and Earnings Statement (LES).
Upon deactivation, your family will revert to the National Guard & Reserve family member premium rate (no government participation).
