Maximum spouse coverage is issued automatically, but can be declined or reduced in writing by the servicemember. As the servicemember, you are always the beneficiary of FSGLI coverage. FSGLI provides up to a maximum of $100,000 of insurance coverage for spouses, not to exceed the servicemembers' SGLI coverage amount, and $10,000 for dependent children.
