If I Join The Air Force Can My Mom Get Medical Insurance?
I really want to Join the Air Force I have a semester left of high school And I’m going to take the ASVAB on Feb. 6. I heard that your family get medical insurance, but what do they mean my family? Wives and children? Or can your parents and sibling get it too?

dependents are spouses and children only. adding a parent as a secondary dependent is very hard to do.. and even then.. her medical insurance could be nonexistent, as they can only be seen under TRICARE on a space available basis on base.. and not at all off base, so you would still have to get insurance for her from another source.
Family means spouse & children. In order to get benefits for your parents or siblings means they have to be your dependents, dependent on you for over 50% of their yearly income and living expenses. They are then limited to what they can do and get. If seen on base by the clinic/hospital it is Space available only, AD, spouses, children, veterans get first priority.
wife and children (either your own children, biologically, children you have adopted or step children of your current wife).
The only way any other members of your family can get benefits are if they are claimed as your dependents and you must show that you provide almost all type of care for them.
Spouses and children are easy to get covered. To get a parent covered they have to be your dependent. This can be done if they have some chronic illness or health problem that prevents them from working. You will have to provide half of the money for their support. They probably will have to live with you. You would have to check with the legal office to check on the details.
Only your dependents will get it, thats your husband and kids. If your mom was declared your dependent then she could possibly get it but its not guarenteed, and is on a case by case basis.
Wives and children can get it, but your siblings and parents only recieve the coverage if they are dependents.
I hope my suggestion could be helpful.And here http://www.InsuranceFreeTip.info/insurance-for-free.htm is resource that I am used to use.Check it out.
