This ques­tion per­tains to the new­er style (white plas­tic) US mil­i­tary retired ID card. On the back under “Med­ical”, the old style card says “Direct: Yes”. The new style one says “Ver­i­fy Eligibility”.

I asked the yeo­man who was doing it if that was right and she said yes, but I think she was new and she did­n’t sound all that con­vinc­ing or sure of her­self. Any oth­er retirees here with the new­er style ID card that can ver­i­fy if this is right?
