You had Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI)
and were released from active duty or active duty for
training under a call or order to duty that does not specify
a period of less than 31 days.
You were a member of the Ready Reserves/National
Guard and insured under SGLI and you are separated, retired,
or released from assignment.
You are an individual who was assigned to the IRR of
a branch of service or to the Inactive National Guard (ING).
This includes members of the United States Public Health
Service Inactive Reserve Corps (IRC).
You are a member who had part-time SGLI and who,
while performing duty, suffered an injury or disability that
rendered you uninsurable at standard premium rates. This
includes travel directly to and from duty.
You must apply for VGLI within 1 year and 120 days
from your date of separation. After that date, you are no
longer eligible for VGLI.
If you apply within 240 days of your date of
separation no medical questions are asked. After 240 days,
proof of good health is required to obtain VGLI.
Renewable Coverage - Once obtained, you can
retain your VGLI coverage regardless of changes to your health or
job status as long as premiums are paid.
No medical questions - Apply within
240 days of your date of separation and no medical questions
are asked. After 240 days, proof of good health is required
to obtain VGLI.
No exclusions - VGLI does not
exclude Veterans for reasons related to mental health, PTSD,
or TBI. Plus, VGLI does not exclude applicants based on their
occupation or recreational activities.
Standard premium rates - VGLI
premium rates are based on age and coverage amount only.
Rates are the same regardless of gender or smoker status.
Five-year coverage increase option -
You can increase your VGLI coverage by $25,000 every five
years up to $500,000, until age 60.
The Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI)
Disability Extension allows service members who are totally
disabled upon separation from service to retain the SGLI
coverage they had in service for up to two years at no cost.
