Can dependents receive ID cards through DEERS?

Eligible dependents can indeed obtain ID cards through the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). This program is designed to verify the eligibility of service members' family members for certain benefits and entitlements. Dependents, which may include spouses and children of active duty, retired service members, and certain categories of former spouses, can receive ID cards that provide access to various military services and benefits such as healthcare and base access.

The process ensures that dependents are officially recognized and can take advantage of the privileges associated with their status. Hence, the confirmation of their eligibility through DEERS is essential for obtaining these ID cards.

As for the other options, they are not applicable because they either limit eligibility inappropriately or misinterpret the scope of ID card distribution for family members of military personnel.
