SGLI

Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI)

Click here for more money-related programs

SGLI is a program of low cost group life insurance for servicemembers on active duty, ready reservists, members of the National Guard, members of the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Public Health Service, cadets and midshipmen of the four service academies, and members of the Reserve Officer Training Corps.

Servicemembers on active duty, active duty for training or inactive duty for training and members of the Reserves are automatically covered for $400,000, the maximum amount of coverage, unless they opt out in writing. SGLI coverage is available in $50,000 increments up to the maximum of $400,000. A soldier can elect lower coverage or no coverage by completing VA Form SGLV-8286. Basic SGLI premiums are currently $.065 per $1,000 of insurance, regardless of the member’s age. View rates for different coverage amounts.

Each member should complete a copy of form SGLV-8286, Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate to designate one or more beneficiaries to receive payment of the insurance proceeds. A copy of this form also serves as a certificate of coverage.

Insurability is guaranteed when first given the opportunity to elect SGLI. After that, soldiers who want to increase their coverage may be subject to insurability determinations.

The insurance issued under the group policy is term insurance. SGLI does not pay dividends. In addition, there are no loan, cash, paid-up or extended insurance values, or any provision for waiver of premiums or benefit because of total disability, accidents, etc.

Visit the SGLI FAQ page for more information.

  • Active Duty servicemembers
  • Members of the Ready Reserve

Family coverage is available only for members insured under the SGLI Program. It is not available for those insured under the VGLI program. View current rates for different age and coverage amounts.
