Which program provides health care for family members of disabled or deceased members of the military services?

• A. TRICARE
• B. CHAMPVA
• C. Indian Health Service
• D. National Institutes of Health

Answer: (B)

CHAMPVA provides health care benefits to eligible family members of veterans who are permanently disabled due to a service-connected condition or who died from a service-connected condition. This specifically covers spouses and dependent children of veterans meeting those criteria. TRICARE mainly covers active-duty service members and many veterans’ dependents, but not limited to the family members of disabled or deceased veterans. Indian Health Service serves Native American and Alaska Native populations, not military families. The National Institutes of Health is a research agency, not a health insurance program.
