Insurance

What is it?

Veterans Group Life Insurance (VGLI)is a program of post-separation insurance which allows servicemembers to convert their SGLI coverage to renewable term insurance. Members with full-time SGLI coverage are eligible for VGLI upon release from service.

Who qualifies?

All servicemembers who currently have SGLI.

How to get it?

Veterans leaving the service must elect to convert their SGLI coverage to VGLI.

• You must apply within one year and 120 days from discharge. 
• Servicemembers who submit their application within 120 days of discharge do not need to submit evidence of good health. 
• Servicemembers who apply after the 120-day period must submit evidence of good health.
