Program Description
Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) is low-cost term insurance for members of the uniformed services.
SGLI is a group life insurance policy purchased by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from a commercial life insurance company. SGLI coverage is available in $50,000 increments up to the maximum amount of $400,000. Servicemembers are automatically insured for the maximum coverage amount of $400,000 unless they decline coverage or elect a reduced amount.
SGLI members have two options available to them upon release from service. They can convert their full-time SGLI coverage to renewable term insurance under the Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI) program or to a permanent plan of insurance with one of the participating commercial insurance companies.
