On July 23, we partnered with Team Rubicon for a Twitter chat about VA life insurance, using the hashtag #VALifeIns. The chat addressed frequently asked questions regarding VA life insurance programs, eligibility requirements,and the application process. Here are some of the top questions from the chat and their answers:
How long do newly separated Servicemembers have to apply for Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI)?
How much can Veterans convert from SGLI to Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI)?
What about spouses? Can they benefit from VA life insurance?
How can disabled Veterans benefit from VA life insurance programs?
Do VA life insurance benefits include any assistance with home mortgages?
