2.1. Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI)
SGLI is a program that provides low-cost term life insurance coverage to eligibleservicemembers. If eligible, you are automatically issued the maximum SGLI coverage. If you qualify for SGLI, you are automatically enrolled and do not need to apply for coverage.
Servicemembers can make changes to their SGLI coverage. For example, servicemembers can decline SGLI coverage, select a lesser amount than maximum coverage, designate beneficiaries, and/or make other changes.
