MILITARY dependent enrollment HELP..

[pjv 2]

Hello Vjers!

I have a simple question that bothers me just right now,it is not about visa or what but anyone here who have applied for DEERS for enrollment in dependent id card? I saw the MARITAL STATUS DATE on the form DD1172 that my hubby sent to me is not the date of our marriage, but it was dated when it was sign by the official and applied and verified by deers in US.. and same date that ELIG ST/MC EFF DATE, which is i dont understand..

anyone here can clear this queries.. Thank you so much in advance

On the DD Form 1172, Section II, Dependant Information, Box 56 should display your date of marriage (YYYYMMMDD) and Box 57(Eligibility Start Date and/or Civilian Health Care Effective Date or Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance Start Date and/or Guard and/or Reserve-Start Date) should display your date of marriage (YYYYMMMDD). Essentially your date of marriage is the day your eligibility begins. Box 91 and Box 100 should have the same date (typically) which is the date the Service Member (Sponsor) signed the document and the approving authority (the person signing the document) verified the information. Hope this helps.

SSG Mullie is correct...It should be the date of your marraige and that is the very date you are entitled to benefits.

oh i see... so it doesnt mean the marital status date is the date of our marriage right? it means the date where my eligibility begins, am i right?? that's how the way i understand your reply.. thankyou so much.. this one is a big help.

The marital status date should be the date of your marriage and the Eligibility Start Date should be the same as well. In general, your DEERS benefits begin on the date of your marriage. I am pretty sure there are circumstances resulting in these date being different but typically, they are the same. I'm no expert with Army Admin (I'm a grunt) and hope this helps.
