How Military Life Insurance Works
Life insurance is a contract where you, the policyholder, will pay monthly fees in exchange for a death benefit payout to your chosen beneficiaries (like your spouse, family, or other loved ones) upon death.
Military life insurance provides financial protection and can also include additional features such as cash value accumulation or investment options.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Active Duty Community
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period and offers a death benefit if you pass away during the term. Universal life insurance, on the other hand, provides lifelong coverage and offers a death benefit alongside the potential to accumulate cash value.
Most adults who are in good health can apply for life insurance. Adults under the age of 59 are eligible for universal life insurance policies. Only individuals between the ages of 20 and 50 are eligible for term policies. You may not be eligible for life insurance if you have cancer, heart conditions, or other life-threatening medical conditions or lifestyle habits.
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on being there for you when you need us. We process claims in less than 24 hours and typically have the cash in your bank account within 3 days.
Members with SGLI coverage have two options if they want to convert their life insurance after their service ends. The first option is that they can convert their SGLI to VGLI, a renewable term insurance that has no cash value that builds over time and has premiums that can increase over time, making it a more expensive option long-term. The second option is that they can convert their SGLI to an individual commercial policy with providers like American Fidelity. American Fidelity’s coverage is meant to provide a more permanent alternative that keeps your costs low and provides full benefits, including cash accumulation.
SGLI is issued to active-duty service members, and once these service members are discharged, they have 120 days during the military separation period to transfer to either VGLI or a commercial permanent policy. Additionally, Retired Reserve soldiers are typically not eligible for SGLI and must convert to one of these options. You cannot convert SGLI to both VGLI and individual commercial life insurance at the same time. However, there is nothing preventing you from converting to one and separately obtaining the other. Converting your SGLI to a VGLI policy can be cost-effective at first, but over time, it doesn’t provide any living benefits and gets more expensive as you grow older. Our universal life insurance policy allows you to stay covered at a fixed rate and offers living benefits like cash accumulation.
To convert from SGLI to an individual permanent insurance policy with providers from participating companies like AmFi, you must also convert within 120 days of the date of separation from the military. After this period, you still have an additional year to convert, but you would have to show proof of insurance and good health to convert if it’s past the initial 120-day period.
Policies with AmFi start at $9 per month. The exact amount you pay each month (your premium) is determined by your choices in the coverage amount and length of term, as well as your age, health, and lifestyle choices.
No. With our 5, 10, and 20-year term policies you will be charged the same amount every month for the duration of your policy. When the policy expires, your rate may change based on age and insurability at that time.
We sure do. We don’t advise canceling your policy because your coverage will lapse, but if you cancel within the first 30 days, then we will issue you a full refund. If you cancel after the initial 30 days, then we’ll simply stop charging you.
In addition to life insurance coverage, this policy grows cash value that isn’t taxed right away. This cash asset is a tremendous advantage of our universal policies.
Please contact our office or one of our agents to discuss the universal life insurance policy and to see whether this is the best policy for your needs.
Just like with all our policies, the death benefit is completely tax free. The universal policies accumulate cash value that is tax-deferred. Please contact our team to learn more.
