19TH MED PRIMARY CARE CHANGES
Starting 29 Jan 2026, all TRICARE Prime beneficiaries will need to come back to base and the 19th Medical Group to receive primary care. These beneficiaries will no longer be able to go off base to receive care except for referrals or emergencies. An information campaign is coming soon that will have additional information. These changes don’t apply to TRICARE Select members. You can enroll in TRICARE Select, but it has out of pocket costs. For additional information visit https://tricare.mil/Plans.
FEDERAL IMPACT AID SURVEY
Each year, the United States Department of Education provides funding called Impact Aid. Impact Aid funds are designed to offset local tax revenues that are diminished due to having a federal installation within the school district. The amount of Dept of Education funds received is directly based on the number of military and DoW civilian children who are identified through completion of a short, annual survey.
The schools have/are sending survey forms home with identified students this month. To qualify for funding, the district must collect a completed form for each federally connected student. Little Rock AFB leadership strongly encourages parents and guardians to complete the Impact Aid survey and return it to the school within their prescribed timelines. If you have any questions regarding the survey, please don't hesitate to contact the Little Rock AFB School Liaison Program Manager, Ms. Terri Williams.
