Our Employees
USBA employees include retired military members with backgrounds
in many of the armed services as well as veterans and qualified
non-military people. A large number of employees enroll in
continuing education courses relating to life insurance each
year, and USBA has twice received awards for educational excellence
from LOMA (Life Office Management Association) for high
performance on course examinations.
Our History
USBA was founded in 1959 to meet the needs of Active Duty military
personnel, who at that time had difficulty finding adequate
life insurance coverage that would cover combat-related deaths.
USBA was one of the first companies to do away with the so-called "war
clause" in all of its coverage.
