SGLI

No matter what stage of life you are in, VA has a life insurance program tailored to fit your financial needs.

This National Military Appreciation Month, learn more about the life insurance programs VA offers to service members, Veterans and their families.

Beginning March 1, service members and qualifying Veterans will have access to increased life insurance coverage of up to $500,000 under two programs: Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) and Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI).

Life insurance can be affordable and accessible to people at all income levels. A wide array of factors determines life insurance cost.

Nov. 1, 2021, is the 20th anniversary of FSGLI. Since 2001, VA has paid nearly $1.7 billion in claims to 8.9 million service member dependents.

VA has provided life insurance for over 100 years to our nation’s service members, Veterans, and their dependents. Life insurance protects loved ones financially after the death of the insured.

VA recently celebrated 55 years of the Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) program, which provides financial protection and peace of mind to military members, Veterans and their families.

Service members will soon see a few extra dollars in their wallets each month as SGLI and Family SGLI spousal coverage premiums decrease.

By enrolling in one of VA’s life insurance programs, Servicemembers and Veterans can provide their families with long-term security.

There are multiple VA life insurance programs, but knowing which ones you qualify for is key to getting the coverage that’s best for you and your family.

Service Members Group Life Insurance (SGLI) is undergoing changes implemented by VA through Prudential Insurance.
