WPS is still processing claims during the Government shutdown.  Most claims for TMEP Medicare eligible beneficiaries are not impacted and will continue to be paid during the government shutdown.  The remaining claims will be paid when the Government shutdown is over and WPS obtains approval to disburse payments for the remaining TRICARE eligible population.  We encourage you to continue submitting claims as you normally do.  As soon as we receive approval to issue payment, the portal will reflect the payment information.
