## Text
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
(2) The individuals described by this paragraph are covered beneficiaries participating in the TRICARE program who may be affected by a significant change covered by a notification under paragraph (1).
|
||
|
||
(3) The Secretary shall provide notice under paragraph (1) through electronic means.
|
||
|
||
(b) Timing of Notice.— The Secretary shall provide notice under paragraph (1) of subsection (a) by the earlier of the following dates:
|
||
|
||
(1) The date that the Secretary determines would afford individuals described in paragraph (2) of such subsection adequate time to understand the change covered by the notification.
|
||
|
||
(2) The date that is 90 days before the date on which the change covered by the notification becomes effective.
|
||
