you should have tricare if you are a vet. If you are old enough to get medicare, tricare for life is the insurance that is usually attached. Get online and tricare.com I belive that not all vets have tricare. You receive Tricare benefits if you were retired from the military (either medically or due to time/age). You would have a retired ID card and that is your Tricare medical card as well. If you think you are eligible you can contact tricare by calling 1-800-tricare and you will be directed to the necessary region. I hope that helps. My husband and I were both medically retired/disabled and have tricare insurance. But friends that are considered disabled by the VA only do not get the same benefits. I am basing my response on personal knowledge and experience. Best Regards,

A widower is typically a man whose spouse has died.
In the United States there is a burial and marker allowance for the estate of the veteran for a few hundred dollars. If the veteran was retired from the service, the widow may be entitled to some percentage of his retirement pay.
Talk to whatever veteran's group the deceased was a member of. They will arrange it for you.
