Did the VA tell you are qualified for Tricare or VA health care?  

Military benefits are not considered as public charge .

I think I am eligible for CHAMP , so I have to research that more .

So is your spouse active duty or 100% from the VA? If he is 100% from the VA then YES you qualify for ChampVA. That is basically a OK insurance for family members if it's your primary insurance. If it's your secondary insurance then it is better because whatever your primary insurance doesn't pay for then ChampVA pays for.

We all can't be like @missileman being retired from the military with a AD spouse as well

From other thread posts, I believe her husband is a 100% disabled Vet with VA health care......As such, it appears she qualifies for CHAMPVA.....

My husband is 100% from VA and CHAMP will be my primary health insurance. 

I am happy to be eligible for anything.

I am 100% as well and have my family enrolled in Champ as a secondary insurance. They saved me from a $2500 bill already this year.
