SGLI insured have two options available to them upon release from
service. They can convert their full-time SGLI coverage to term insurance
under the Veterans’ Group Life Insurance program or to a permanent plan
of insurance with one of the participating commercial insurance companies.
Military members may purchase a SGLI
policy through military pay deduction. It is currently limited to $250,000
(since 1 April 2001). See Service
Members Get More Life Insurance Coverage.
